Madness: The Liberty of Norton Folgate

Taglines
Norton Folgate is a state of mind, a slice of urban magic.
Overview

'Madness' are about to release a new album after 10 years, which consists of an interrelated, song cycle about London called 'The Liberty of Norton Folgate'. Although the songs are on one level about different areas of London, they focus musically on the waves of immigration to the city - Irish, Jewish, Caribbean, Asian etc and the musical legacy they have contributed to the city. The concert is at the Hackney Empire, a show with powerful connections to the grand Music Hall traditions of the place, situating Madness where they belong, clearly within a uniquely English Popular Musical Culture with its roots in the Victorian period. Weaving through the concert, Suggs and Carl, take us back in time to the London of Karl Marx and Jack the Ripper. Humorously introducing the subject of each song, they take us on a tour through the psycho geography of the Old East End, Spitalfields, Smithfield, Wapping, Bethnal Green, ending down on the beaches of the Thames beyond Tower Bridge Finally.

Overview

Madness waren immer schon mehr als eine Partytruppe, und genau das beweisen sie mit The Liberty Of Norton Folgate, einem stilistisch sehr vielseitigen und textlich guten Album, das sie dem östlichen und unabhängigen Londoner Bezirk Norton Folgate widmen. In ihrer Frühphase mischten Madness Ska, dessen etwas langsamere Version Rocksteady, Punk und Pop, hier dringt die 2-Tone-Band mit ihren vielen Urmitgliedern in weitere Bereiche vor. „Forever Young“ ist Reggae, das bittersüße „Sugar & Spice“ begibt sich auf die Spuren der Kinks, „Rainbows“ überrascht mit psychedelischen Keyboard-Elementen, „MK II“ kommt als eine melancholische Ballade daher und wie aus dem Nichts taucht in „On The Town“ die Gastsängerin Rhoda Dakar auf. Hier bauen Madness Kirmismusik ein, da flirten sie New Orleans Jazz, lassen den Bass dub-mäßig wummern und verstehen sich blendend auf Tempowechsel. (Sven Niechziol)
