Hey Nuppy! From the day I heard the Bside version of Alright Yeah, it remains my absolute favorite. I think it's a dirty shame that Respect ends with Wafflehead, considering he had Alright Yeah, Bright Fresh Flower, and the Live In Years to consider as closers... Oh well, thats another discussion... Beyond that, I love Luminous Rose, and after that, my favorites dissolve into a very predictable set of his poppiest moments.. Balloon Man, Flesh #1, Madonna Of the Wasps, One Long Pair Of Eyes, Birds in Perspex, Tell Me About Your Drugs, Raymond Chandler Eve, Serpent At The Gates..., Ride, Heaven, Most everything off of Respect (my favorite of his work) etc etc etc... And just to make my argument even more difficult to defend, I have to admit to loving Heliotrope, but only the Mossy version with the incredible backing vocals added in (The Moss Elixir version falls flat for me!) Look, I don't relish the fact that I find his newer material boring. It's sad to me. There aren't that many artists I love so much as to buy their music without hearing it anymore...

I don't mind it a bit if people are dismissive about my work. And I certainly expect people to apply my same thinking to my music. If someone is kind enough to give me 5 seconds, thirty seconds, three minutes, it's all the same. If it doesn't fall in someones ballpark, they'll tune out immediately and that is 100% cool with me. I like gut reactions and instincts. And most of the time, and I mean MOST OF THE TIME, it's impossible to get an honest reaction out of people. Sometimes the best reacions come from strangers, cause people who are friends are rarely able to give honest feedback. I've been criticised literally hundreds and hundreds of times. It doesn't phase me anymore. I appreciate honesty. Hell, half the stuff I've recorded is BLOODY AWEFUL! it's borderline unlistenable!!! If you were to say my music sucked, I might agree with you, depending on what you were listening to! I'm not afraid to declare something I don't like as "bad". We had an old song called "Oh My God You Shaved Your Pussy"... very obnoxious, very offensive, etc... Women would leave our performance outraged! I think it silly to ask them to sit through the whole thing to listen for the brilliance of the composition. If someone walked away saying the song was complete and total crap, even after hearing only the first offensive 15 seconds, I would say that that was fair. Which brings me back to Robyn: Spewked is rubbish. Luxor was Rubbish. I can't take the funny little man with the guitar singing his songs routine. anymore. I want a band. And this touring excuse is just nonsense. As well as the age argument. Bono and Co just released a totally rocking song and they aint no spring chickens! Not to mention that Robyn Shows are just as fun when he plays acoustic versions of old electric songs, so I reject the argument that a Spewked tour would be any more enjoyable (for Robyn or the audience) than a tour playing the old electric hits on his solo guitar You can actually make a great loud record in the studio withour ever having to sing over a band. And any Roby show is going to be good, no matter what the source material is.

Ah ha! Wow, that is boggling. I find it really strange that you dig Luminous Rose, but not the slower mellower new stuff. Luminous Rose grates on me. It's one of my least favorites, but still Heliotrope is a slice of heaven. I like either version, but I suppose the Mossy is better and longer too. I'm a big fan of Respect, but recently the production seems dated. The songs are still good. It's interesting: the stuff of Robyn's that sound dated and the stuff that doesn't. My opinion: Dated: Respect PI Queen Elvis Groovy Decay Fegmania GLTHO! Not so dated: IODOT Underwater Moonlight Moss Elixer Element of Light Eye Jewels for Sophia Dunno about Black Snake Diamond Role. It's so lo-fi, but oh so cool. Hmm, I seem to think Spooked won't sound too dated 10 years from now. Though I'm liking it, I still don't like it anywhere near Moss Elixer and I agree the Respect B-side Alright Yeah sounds better the ME version. It's certainly all a matter of opinion.

It's one of my least favorites, but still Heliotrope is a > slice of heaven. Now, see, I think Luminous Rose is BRILLIANT. I couldn't disagree with Blatz any more about Wafflehead and his supposed substitutes, though. Every one of the songs he mentioned as a replacement for Wafflehead on Respect are total trash (with the exception of "Alright, Yeah", which is, as Robyn admits, just blandly unobjectionable). Luminous Rose is great because it's all about the rhyhthmh. It's a song about the pulse of death and the rolling of the tides all set to the lub-dub of a sleeping heartbeat. Cool. > Dated: > Respect > PI > Queen Elvis > Groovy Decay > Fegmania > GLTHO! I'll give you GLTHO and Groovy Decay and add Black SNake Diamond Role, but disagree on the others. > Not so dated: > IODOT > Underwater Moonlight > Moss Elixer > Element of Light > Eye > Jewels for Sophia Jewels For Sophia was dated the day it came out. It screams "Late ninties catch-up album". I think it suffers horribly for the production. Most of the songs are great, but put together in a really boring, soft-core kind of way. I think Moss Elixir suffers from some of the same, but maybe slightly less so. The vocal reverb and lead guitar reverb on Element of Light is way 80s. It's only recently started to be obvious to me, though. I'll give you the others, but they're a timeless form without much mucking around with the sound. > Dunno about Black Snake Diamond Role. It's so lo-fi, but oh so cool. Not just lo-fi, but OLD lo-fi. The songs themselves are dated, too, so that's not helping anything. > Hmm, I seem to think Spooked won't sound too dated 10 years from now. I've only heard it once and it sounds dated. Good melodies on kind of dull songs and using "condoleeza" as a synonym for "war". That'll get old real fast.

Someone's probably playing the worst guitar solo ever somewhere in their bedroom right now, and someone else in another bedroom will probably play a worse one a few minutes later. A lot of the contenders are probably contained within covers of the same finite series of songs, and occur because people just love the joke where they shout out for "Freebird". - -Rex - -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 14:38:16 -0800 From: "Rex Broome" Subject: Luminous Lacerated Rose Jeme: > Luminous Rose is great because it's all about the rhyhthmh.

A few years back, for the "Shipwreck" Halloween party, my buddy cut together film footage to songs I thought would be cool... and he had these crazy underwater corpse things hacked together from various pretty standard-issue films (Titanic, U-571 etc) cut to "Luminous Rose", which he'd never heard before I gave it to him. It was really spooky. Anyhow... I remember an interview where Robyn said that it'd been pared down from a recording which originally had "guitars lacerating each other", and that you could "still hear them spilling over onto the vocal track", which I can't.

In the '80's context he seemed to me, and was often regarded as, rather more tied to the '60's than just about anyone else in his peer group. Even two of his records just cited as being the most "dated" bear this out... PERSPEX being absolutely drenched in Byrds-isms, and the best-known edition of FEGMANIA! even containing a Byrds *cover*. His *most* dated record, G/G/D/D, is the most '80's-sounding thing in the catalog, and I think its main shortcoming is how totally damned uncomfortable he sounded (and was) with that idiom (and what's one of its few high points? Yup, the John Lennon knockoff). And it sometimes even has that oh-so-'80's buzzword "groovy" in its title. I... don't think it's just me on this one. Are you maybe thinking of his pal Thomas Dolby? - -Rex - -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 17:08:44 -0700 From: "Marc Alberts" Subject: RE: Alright, Yeah BabY!!!!!

I actually like Luminous Rose quite a bit, as it was probably the first song that really caught my ear the first time I ever heard Robyn. On the other hand, Vibrating is one of my favorite RH songs of all time, so now it takes a bit of a back seat on an album that is definitely middle-of-the-pack for me (only in comparison to the other RH albums). > I'm a big fan of Respect, but recently the production seems dated.

There's a time and a place for everything, and it's called "college" ;-) Or, to be honest in my case, the year after college. I wouldn't say this particular girl was weird even; in fact, to her, my enjoyment of Tom Waits and Robyn Hitchcock and The Sugarcubes (etc.) made me the weird one.
