Although nobody really seems to have hit upon the main surprise that struck me upon watching it: Robert's astonishing drumming, which twists and stretches and scrunches the songs into all kinds of spectacular shapes that couldn't have been achieved by the others alone, regardless of their creative leadership. Worth buying for that revelation alone, I think. Cheers, ig. - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

It is a great track to listen to, it swings, it has lyrics, whispering, the sound is warm and new. And there is tension. Take care for whispering. Manipulating by words someone else are not allowed to know. So special for you. Ultimate selling. As my mom said to me when I was 5. Whispering finches are not normal. Lot of companies could be interested in this to use a piece of this for a tv commercial You can play it everytime and everywhere. In Private And In Public Wandered through the posteverything threads and recognized there is another kind of Blast First. Paul Smith started Blast First petit distributed by posteverything. mmm j Does someone else know more great whispering recordings? The all-new My Yahoo!

When I was that age, my mum just used to tell me to eat my tea ; ) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 05:53:43 -0000 From: "Keith Astbury" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Wire on the Box review > Apologies if my digest skip-reading has missed a post that's already > mentioned this, but there's a fine review of the Rockpalast DVD on Pitchfork: > > http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/w/wire/wire-on-the-box.shtml > Cheers Ian. Liked the closing line! How they mustered this much energy and focus for such a wallflower crowd I'll never know, but the end result is an excellent document of an essential band at the height of their powers. ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V7 #339 *******************************
