If you like Eye, you'll probably like JL/POB; it's got the same sort of stripped-down sound. Check out "Remember" on that album and you'll hear where "Somewhere Apart" came from. I'm also fond of Live in Toronto (Live Peace ???), which hasn't been mentioned yet.

Hey, man, I don't care what they're singing about, so long as it's got a good beat, dude! Seriously, I recently picked up JE's "Children of the Lord" single, and it's got a nice long remix of the song which kicks the high-ho-living-shit out of the album track.

But then he has also invited a whole lot of musicians for a whole lot of different sessions. Names like Peter Buck, Grant Lee Philips, almost all of the Young Fresh Fellows and, indeed, old Soft Boys-partner Kimberley Rew appear in the guest list. Hitchcock sings about butterflies and "flutterbies" and an entire song about Gene Hackman, and perhaps hasn't made his very best album, but doubtlessly one of his most charming.

It has been reported that Apple Venus 2 is 1/3 to 1/2 finished. The drummer is Chuck Szabo [anybody know of him?], an American guy recommended by producer and engineer Nick Davis. Terry must buy AV2, because AP said that he is confident that this album will sound "more like The Monkees than XTC." Homespun, the AV1 demos album, should be released by Cooking Vinyl in about 5 weeks. It is a single album - just the demos. As time permits, Andy is still working on the "Fuzzy Warbles" (all demos ever) project. - - Steve _______________ We're all Jesus, Buddha, and the Wizard of Oz! - Andy Partridge ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V8 #344 *******************************
