I have heard this and was not particularly impressed My pal who owns it is a big Luna fan tho and thinks its 'OK' >Also: a few months back I saw a Luna cd single, I think it was a Spanish >import, that has them doing a cover of "Outdoor Miner"! Does anyone have >this, and is it any good (I like Luna quite a bit & I'd assume it is)... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Jul 1998 08:36:17 -0500 From: "Mack" Subject: Re: sounds like Wire? not to rundown the frankly refreshing resurgance of this list, but i don't really think ANYONE sounds like Wire, including Wire at any other point in time. That is one of the qualities (along with a strong sense of melody, great lyrics and unbeatable hooks) which makes them a great fave. Television is also one of my faves as well as Magazine, early Ultravox, Vini Reilly, YMO and most derivitives, Kraftwerk, XTC...the list goes on. But I think in a sense it demeans an artist to compare anything other than the feeling you get. Maybe that's what we are actuallly discussing?

We all know about the Ex-Lion Tamers and the Whore CD but I wonder if any of you have heard Die Kreuzen's cover of "Pink Flag" (track,not album)? It was released on Touch&Go records in Chicago and its number is T&G#62. Oh, and incidentally, it is an unmitigated and unadulterated bag of shite. (Dare I say even worse than Wire's version) Steve (probably about to be cast into the pit) ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V1 #85 ******************************
