It's sort of appropriate that I would do a review of Fiction Plane around the antiVersary, given the first review. That was, of course, Big Dume's Inside My Head, fronted by the son of songwriter and record producer, wherein I raised the question of how relevant pedigree was to musical ability. Here we have that question again; in this case, Fiction Plane front man Joe Sumner is the son of none other than Gordon Sumner, better known as Sting. The circumstances are a little different for this CD, though: whereas Inside My Head was the band's debut CD and was promoted alongside a "reality" TV show starring the front man, Left Side of the Brain is the third studio recording and second full-length album from a band that's been around since 2000.

No, not Sting's son, the guy from Big Dume. That one was one "Princes of Malibu," a short-lived show on Fox that may or may not have been legitimate (Wikipedia seems to suggest it was a real reality show, whereas I read somewhere a week or so ago that the whole thing was staged to try to help launch the two sons' careers.)
