Voluntary Butler Scheme
Tabasco Sole Split Records

Article written by James G - Jun 26, 2009

‘Tabasco Sole’ starts off like a ‘fair comes to town’ soundtrack, goes all Jackson 5 (or 4, as they are now), then settles down into a clever-lyric slice of Beckish tomfoolery. Very 6Music. Next track, ‘Split’, is similar but allows more of Rob Jones (for he is, to all intents and purposes, Voluntary Butler Scheme)’s personality to come through. But something’s a bit, dunno, soulless, a bit too calculated about all this. An insipid cover of ‘Together In Electric Dreams’ shows what he can do when armed with a decent pop song. And that’s to have his vocal shortcomings cruelly exposed. It also throws the clumsiness of the previous songs into stark contrast.
This record is interesting. But not nearly as interesting as it thinks it is.
