Additional information
The Free Design: Sandy Dedrick, Bruce Dedrick (vocals); Chris Dedrick (guitar, soprano recorder, trumpet, keyboards, drums). Additional personnel includes: Christian Szczesniak (acoustic & electric guitars); Mike Francis (electric guitar); Griffin Dedrick (guitar); Marie Berard, Ann Lindsay (violin); Douglas Perry (viola); Brian Epperson, Roman Borys (cello); John Johnson (soprano saxophone); Tom Szczesniak (piano, bass); David Swan (piano); Rebecca Pellett (keyboards, background vocals); Brian Barlow (drums, percussion). Recorded between April and November, 2000. Includes liner notes by Chris Dedrick. For the 2000 release of the superb Beach Boys tribute album Caroline Now!, the legendary Free Design reunited for the first time in three decades, stealing the spotlight from the band's indie pop descendants with a beautifully poetic rendition of "Endless Harmony." The full-length follow-up Cosmic Peekaboo restores the group's brilliance to its original luster, reassembling the founding lineup of siblings Chris, Sandy, and Bruce Dedrick for a remarkable comeback effort that more than lives up to the standard of their past classics. Resisting the temptation to incorporate even a dash of the electronic pop approaches of avowed acolytes like Stereolab, the High Llamas, and Cornelius, on Cosmic Peekaboo the group picks up right where it left off -- although the harmonies are deeper and even richer than before. The infinite warmth and affection at the heart of all the Dedricks' work remains intact, with every note utterly free of the irony and detachment prevalent throughout so much of the music produced in their absence. Although Cosmic Peekaboo's incandescent performances and majestic arrangements barely acknowledge the 30-year gap, the lyrics cast a knowing eye on the Free Design legacy -- the elegiac "Younger Son" evokes vintage classics like "Kites Are Fun" and "My Brother Woody," while "The Hook" updates the group's still-relevant chart lament "2002 - A Hit Song," gently chiding a new generation of navel-pierced pop icons while taking to task the music industry's reliance on style over substance. The record's emotional centerpiece is the haunting "Day Breaks," a sweepingly angelic tribute to sister Stefanie, to whose memory Cosmic Peekaboo is lovingly dedicated. ~ Jason Ankeny
Reviews
Alternative Press (4/01, p.77) - 4 out of 5 - "...Fabulous....classic Beach Boys-style dream pop, full of beautiful vocal harmonies and arrangements..." Magnet (4-5/01, p.73) - "...A sound full of musical pabulum and misdirected intended cleverness, yet breathtaking in its vocal splendor and arch melodies..." Mojo (Publisher) (3/01, p.106) - "...Ranks alongside their best ever songs and performances....The sustained purity and perfect tone of the Dedrick Sisters harmonies makes you want to renounce all trace of a rockin' lifestyle..."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
