Thanks Ant - I will take you up on that. I'll try to get them (I actually paid for the album from iTunes rather than using Limewire etc)

Fairly. They were the more experimental of the bristol based Trip Hop genre bands. Attempting to fuse Jazz, Drum & bass and a strong vocal content. Quite complex arrangements made very "listenable".

"Gorecki" is probably their best known track - if you like this, then check out their best of, "Best Kept Secrets" album from 2004.

Re: Today I am mostly listening to

"Cashing in on Christmas" by Bad News.

Following my trip in to town this afternoon this song seemed highly appropriate!

No problem. Send me a Private Message with them.

As for me:

Star One - Space Metal

Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever

Rush - Permanent Waves

Rush - Moving Pictures

Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt2. Scenes From A Memory



Do you spot the trend??

I'm a bit of a muso snob (so I'm told) and begrudgingly accompanied a good friend who raved about these guys and was determined to get over my dogged short sightedness. I went, albeit with a little aprehension ("Spock's Beard" for goodness sake!!) - and was blown away.

Still can't listen to them much at home/in the car etc - but the way those guys played (without getting too "noodly" with their extended solos) was a real experience.

Thanks for reminding me Mr A - I may well dig out "Day for Night"

Up to this point, been listening to
The Stooges
Fatima Mansions
One Giant Leap
World Party (Man - what a lyricist - genius)

This song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps (forget cheesey vid)
