It is more afro-pop sounding, but still quite good. It was originally an import, but then Ryco started making it domestically (or at least selling it that way). The jewel case was one of those where you saw the CD surface through the clear plastic. It was about half the size of a regular CD case.

Hmmm...I don't think I could agree with that evaluation. SO has many points over US in terms of non-homogenized style, but then again it also includes "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time", two songs of which I became utterly sick really quickly. "Red Rain" is headed that way. Not even "Steam" is so quick to lose its luster.

Howdy folks, I'm now anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first Happy Rhodes album. I ordered the cassette of WARPAINT from AG the other week, and now I'm awaiting with much, much anticipation! If I like it, I'll break down and get some of the other albums on CD. I notice Tower Boston has a couple. We shall see, we shall see. I'm psyched! The other big news of the week is....I finally bought a CD player! After hemming and hawwing (how exactly does one hem and haw???) for years and years, I broke down last weekend bought a player (and a couple of used Kate Bush CDs were my very first purchase!) I'm slowly dragged kicking and screaming by market forces into mid-80s technology!

However, since I was so busy with the work, I had to be a lurker most of the time(well, how could you ask too much for a young Silicon Valley engineer?). Now I just did a job-switching.

If so, let us know what and where. Thanks! Lisa *IS* working on a new album. I read this news on Rolling Stone, or Spin, or Pulse!, or whatever. Then I thought, Jeeee, she will have a new album, but I even didn't have the first one yet!

Red Rain has wonderful drums courtesy of the one and only Jerry Marotta, so I will never stop liking that one. WRT Sledgehammer, I never really liked it. It was the first song of PGs that I had ever heard (well, I think I'd heard Solsbury Hill but it never really registered before), and I thought ... Gee this Peter Gabriel guy can't be all that good (I think my friends would have a heart attack if I told them that. I must admit to being a bit of a PG evangelist). Then I saw the clip *:) and was converted a bit. Following that came Big Time, which I liked because it had such silly lyrics, and I like all things silly. But then what _really_ drew my attention to PG was Don't Give Up, because only about a year previously, I had discovered Kate, and suddenly my opinion of PG shot up several thousand rungs of the proverbial ladder. So still retains a bit of a sentimental quality for me because of all this, and hey, it's an album where he has a duet with Kate _and_ Laurie. What more could you ask for ... So, Sledgehammer hasn't lost a lustre, because it never _really_ had one, but I really like the rest of the album. Steam on the other hand, I first heard as the B-track of the Digging in the Dirt single 'Quiet Steam', and really really liked the song from that, and I also think that it's a musically more interesting song than Sledgehammer. The remixes of it on the Steam single aren't anywhere near as good as Quiet Steam. Maybe he put the one he _really_ liked on the DitD single, and the one that would sell on the album. That's being awfully presumptious I know *:), but it's a comforting thought. Not that I dislike the album version - I don't and I'm sure PG doesn't either otherwise it wouldn't be there. Incidentally I found the 'Raw Stylus Mix' of Digging in the Dirt yesterday, and it's got an extra verse in it. I was listening to and suddenly, "Hang on, I've never heard that bit ... hmmmm." It's quite an interesting remix too. While I'm on the subject of remixes, the Games Without Frontiers 'remix', (it sounds more like a new recording (cf Steam Vs Quiet Steam) than a remix) is wonderful *:). ObHappy - The rest of the songs on Happy's discs are as good as the ones on my sampler tape. I may elaborate when I've heard more.
