So the Tribe album is finally out... but where can you lay your hands on it?
Spookily enough not via Tribeworld! What's up with that?!!
You could try Amazon - they are an online store with sites for practically all countries, so go to your 'local' one.
UK folk can purchase it for £11.99 + p&p. UK order Tribe album
Jungle.com are selling £12.98 + p&p. (Total £14.62). Please note they order on demand so you migt have to wait a bit longer.
If you prefer to browse your high street, Virgin have stock in at £15.99. I am relaibly informed that HMV also carry the album and ifyou have an MVC near you, try there.
Can you find it at a cheaper price or somewhere not mentioned here? Email me
Here's a review from NZ Herald's Entertainment News:
The Tribe: Abe Messiah 28.12.2000 (Cloud 9)
Herald rating: * *
Review: Russell Baillie
Whatever near-apocalyptic event befell the world of sci-fi teen series, The Tribe, it seems that relentlessly sunny pop music survived the disaster. Still, this spin-off album features some particularly assured vocal performances from Meryl Cassie (younger sister of TrueBliss’ Megan) whose sweet lead on the majority of tracks would indicate she has a pop future after the facepaint comes off.
The production line songs are big on percussion-heavy enthopop tracks — the title and Abadeo — suggesting S Club 7 kidnapped by Peter Gabriel, a few with vaguely tropical/flamenco/latin flavourings for that international market, while the This Is the Place and Beep Beep attempt to make a boy band out of the Tribe’s lead blokes.
And, of course, it ends on the Big Ballad (Cassie again), called, of course, The Dream Must Stay Alive which is nice enough in a Disney roll-credits kind of way. Oddest thing though, for the score to a futuristic world of no parents, so much of this sounds straight out of the 80s and has the air of music that old folks think young people should like.
