Obie,

>>That is exactly it!  I couldn't imagine that release making it
to CD
Wow , I bet you're right, it's probably pretty rare at that!

- -Cheers<<

Well, it was on Virgin so I guess there's a chance. (Its full title is Short 
Circuit - Livre at the Electric Circus - forgot that bit!). When it first 
came out it was on blue vinyl but it was reissued when Joy Division got big - 
I bought my copy new about 1980 (on black vinyl)....

You could try Ebay or something?

Cheers,

Mark

Is there any connection between Spizzenergi and Athletico Spizz or are they
totally seperate groups?


Just curious

Jaz Coleman, the singer and keyboardist from KJ.

now.

I think Fire Dances was mostly self-produced with Nigel Mills (who had
previously worked on King Crimson's Discipline LP) engineering.The title
track itself I presume was produced or engineered by John Porter (The
Smiths fame).

I hope this helps

Subject: Fw: More Off Topic Rants - Simple Minds and Shriekback

I would have to strongly agree with you here.Definately some link between
Wire and KJ in my point of view.Eerie synthesizers,overdriven,echo ridden
chorus guitars,drum-machine style drumming and pulsing basses say it all.I
do notice something similar in Simple Minds and Shriekback even though I
have not listened to the last 2 artists enough to comment.I think a similar
intensity may have appeared in other acts such as Wall of Voodoo,Severed
Heads and Fad Gadget.The new wave post punk ghost of the '80s.
Did Shriekback produce a track in the '80s with a lyric "Watch them shoot
another one,Watch them shoot another one,Watch them shoot another
one.....".I'm not sure who the artist was but it sounded from what I
remember rather Wire-like (154 era through to IBTABA).
