The „Spiders & Snakes“ are back with a reunion this year. The originally instrumentation is only composed of “Lizzie” and “Tim” who have also played the rest of the instruments by themselves. behind this double CD is a lot of cult and fun, I’m gonna tell you a bit later about the bonus DVD. In the meantime, “Hollywood Ghosts” is the 7th album of the former “London” members. Like the older albums, this one can set a certain cult and kitsch touch. You can’t take this band absolutely serious if you’re listening to songs like “Angelyne”. Whereas “American Baby” rocks like hell. This already mentioned “Angelyne” is composed like a glam rock song from the 70s which could have been made by “Slade” or “The Sweet”. It’s going on quite happy with “The Siamese Twins”, a very amusing song with a great chorus. A beautiful ballad you can find on “Hollywood Ghosts” with “Someday”. This song is my favourite one, a great 80s song in a huge format. “Get outta here” is the concluding song of this disc. I think this album became quite good, here and there a rudely blooper, but for this we’re gonna talk now about the bonus DVD. Exactly like that one should market a reunion album. At first a full album and then a bonus disc not less than 15 video clips and live takings. Everything for the same price of course!!! So on this DVD several cult live takings are arranged, old enjoyable clips and a few interviews. This DVD has much going for the money, and that’s the way it should be. Nowadays, in the time of illegal downloading, one should try with these measures to sell albums. “Hollywood Ghost” wouldn’t earn in my opinion more than 7.5 points, but because of this cool bonus DVD, I’m giving you one more and have to say: Well done, guys!!!
