Well, I'll keep this brief(ish) as there's little point in porting a load of Wireviews text ... In chronological order: Pre>He is pretty good but not really that much of a departure from Dome. It's more raw though & Dolass Violphin is a classic piece of noise terror even if, at 18:29, it is far too long. (Even Boyd Rice quit before that length with Embers et al.) I've not actually heard much of the Mute He Said stuff recently. I've got Pump on an old Mute compilation which is quite good in a poppy sort of way. The only onther two tracks that immediately leap to mind are Pulling 3 G's and Could You, both of which I thought were awful. Graham's 90s stuff has increased his standing in my eyes immensely though. Immanent is quite good, sometimes brilliant, sometimes not. Eyes Fly, Eclipsed (w/ excellent guitaring) & Skip the Sausage are the stand-outs for me. The texts are all excellent and make good reading on their own. However, some of the tracks slip into the sameyness that put me off of Take Care when I heard that album. However, this is a good album to throw on in the background while I'm typing or working but this also highliughts its unobtrusiveness. IMO, this is no classic but worth a look and it's bound to appeal to the more pop-oriented listener. HSO's Catch Supposes on the other hand is a brilliant album, up there with the best of -any- albums I own. At first I was put of by the overlaid vocals but now I feel the whole thing works marvellously together. Great stuff. (The video for Post Code Orange is quite interesting too). The reworked HSO album Matching Crosses is good too but I waffled on about that in a recent post so I won't go into that now...

Just bought Coatings...I liked all of it except for and in particular...In Vivo (club mix)...what crap! Maybe it's because I don't dance, but I think even if i did dance, i'd dance to Kenny Loggins (highway to the danger zone, Yeah!) before I'd dance to that. The other thing was The Drill, it was an okay mix, but i've heard so many different versions of the drill, i'm sure I never need to hear another one. Really good stuff is: Madman's Honey (never thought i'd say it, but that Rocked!), German Sheperds (the "definitive version," but i found it stupid that they changed the words for the BBC). Ambitious (alternate) was odd, it seemed to be put out by Colin, whose mic was plugged into a Happy Meal, and finally to the recording equipment...not bad though, just different. Kidney Bingos was good, but I prefer the one on the A-list. Ramblin Man, Robert. p.s. will the Country music Wire Holiday alblum be out anytime soon? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
