Formula One

Grand Prix have recently released their fourth album, more or a less a straight out rocker, called Speed of Sound. Much has been made by some critics of Grand Prix's fascination with cars and racing, but actually this album is probably the one with the least focus on those subjects. There has been an evolution across Grand Prix's four albums that is much more significant than the gradual shift from an automotive theme and that is the change in their sound. Those car metaphors may yet prove to be millstone for Grand Prix but I can't resist one more. Grand Prix's musical journey isn't so much a flat-out run down the straight but more like a road trip along a winding highway. The podcast includes songs from all four Grand Prix albums.
