The Vox can write irresistible songs, with an uncommon originality in the music-making: that makes them unique. It may seem to be a statement of circumstance, but in this period, when a great part of productions sails in the still water of conformation to standards, they're cast gold. Only destiny wanted them to come just here and not in the die of some English producer with tin ear and sharp eye. Let's fly over influences and similarities, all chit-chat for dedicated press, and focus on their way of manipulating the seven notes, because once you understand the formula it's easy to deduce the overall value. Broadly, you can recognize a good song by the balance between its instrumental parts, the unpredictability of its variations and by the intrinsic ability to go deep into your brain without being an obsession. To create a good song it's necessary to have sense of economy and instrumental balance (neither too many cocks nor few), to arrange sections without becoming boring, to be able to make us humming like a pretty tune a piece that's not it. How they succeed in doing it with such naturalness is probably not clear even to them, but it's a matter of fact and it works wonderfully.
