Review Revue: The Invisible - Dystopia

I've covered a lot of obscure bands in the (gulp) 9 years I've been doing this series, but The Invisible really takes the cake. Interestingly, their album Dystopia seems to be available on all the usual internet music services, but the only smidge of information I can find on them is a discogs listing with a comment that seems to have been written by one of the members: "We were either 8 years before our time or 20 years after. Q Magazine called us Retro which was a dirty word in 1987 (by 1995 it was a genre!)" They may have been papered over on Allmusic and Wikipedia by the new band of the same name formed in 2009, but for whatever reason, it's almost as if this band is . . . not viewable? Unseeable? There has to be a better word for that...

"Harmonic pop - featuring Lester Square [hey, he's on Wikipedia!], ex-Monochrome Set guitarist. Nice stuff."

"Hello Sunny Day is too happy. Lester has some nice Byrdsy guitar work here."

"Way cool guitar (or git-box as Jed might say)."

"2.1 is great."

"Actually, DAVE, it's all very pleasent [corrected in a different color pen to 'pleasant'], + I meant that."

"Manic pop thrill."

"Eh. -Tim"

"Tim, if you can't be nice, don't be anything. Go listen to CDs with 'Marsh.' Oh - and 'Marsh' - thanks for the spelling correction. Is it available on CD?"

"Not yet, so I bought the record (yes, my vinyl still outnumbers 10-1 my CD purchases)."

"Outstanding!"

"Well, thank you."
