About Edison Lighthouse
The British pop group Edison Lighthouse was primarily the vehicle of session vocalist Tony Burrows; the group's lone hit, 1970's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)," was one of four simultaneous U.K. Top Ten records scored by Burrows under different names (the others were White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'," the Pipkins' "Gimme Dat Ding," and the Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand"). In truth, Edison Lighthouse was merely the alias of songwriters and producers Tony McCaulay and Barry Mason, although members of the group Greenfield Hammer were eventually brought in to perpetuate the image of a real working band; after the success of "Love Grows," Burrows exited to pursue other projects, and McCaulay, who owned the copyright to the Edison name, simply assembled another group to record under the alias. The second Edison Lighthouse barely cracked the U.K. Top 50 with the single "It's Up to You, Petula" before vanishing. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Never Miss A Beat Kaiser Chiefs |
| The kings of chorus repetition strike again with this good intentioned look at the state of our youth and the failure of the education system. Don't panic! As serious as this may sound, these are neither deep lyrics nor they reflect any worrying shift towards U2-like social analysis. "Never Miss A Beat" does not desperately try to be as popular as "Ruby", which makes it more enjoyable, and although it cannot compare with the Chiefs' best moments (namely, their debut singles) many want to see some sort of getting back to form, fuelled by their collaboration with new Britpop king, Mark Ronson, who was called to produce their forthcoming effort. His Midas touch is expected to rescue the band from the typical disappointing effect of that difficult second album. This new single, though, lacks of the shock and awe effect a different sound direction would have provided; instead Ronson respectfully brings the band back to the familiar sonic frame where Kaiser Chiefs used to feel at home, but a few surprises may be unveiled when "Off With Their Heads" gets a release. | |
