The opening scene of the movie Trainspotting sees Ewan McGregor on the run, going as fast as he can, looking over his shoulder. His tension-filled eyes turn into a terrifying look as he gets hit by a car, although leaving him unwounded. Grabbing his senses again, putting his hands on the bonnet, turning towards the driver... Now you look McGregor right in his furious eyes. Chat And Business gives you the same junkie-on-the-run feel as the opening scene of Trainspotting. It's as rough as the imagery in the movie; it breathes the same tension. What made the raw depiction of a junkie struggling worth watching can be heard on this album. Chat And Business makes you gasp for air as if you were McGregor himself in the opening scene of Trainspotting. Ikara Colt have made an intense record that essentially is a punk record, of which all songs are a variation of one sound. It's as English as The Sex Pistols, as uncompromising as the early-day Manic Street Preachers, and as prolific as Sonic Youth. Thurston Moore seems to have a hand in the excellent Bishop's Son. Sink Venice is as pop as a punk song can get without sounding like an American punk band. Here We Go Again and Video Clip Show are two to three minutes of rattling paranoia. Although the intensity grabs you to never let go, these songs stand out from the rest. The other songs on Chat And Business are as intense as the aforementioned songs, but the art school four-piece couldn't get them to sound as exciting. The remaining compositions are a bit too common to call Chat And Business an excellent record. A half-successful exercise then...
