F. Smith" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Organ Art "Sliding" review, aka, In the Shadow of Coldplay http://www.organart.com/ IAN McCULLOCH "Sliding" (Cooking Vinyl) That distinctive voice of Echo And The Bunnyman's Ian McCulloch - a massive massive influence on the Colplay sound amongst many other good things. The lead track indeed features the guest appearances of Chris Martin (a man who could not hide his kid-in-an-attended-sweetshop delight when he got to front his heroes The Bunnymen for a song at the New Order thing at Finsbury Park last year) and Johnny Buckland from Coldplay. 'Sliding' sounds like a mellow Echo And The Bunnymen semi ballad, a striped down at-ease-with-itself optimistic uplifting Coldplay thing, the Bunnyman fans should be more than happy with it. The second and third tracks here - Crackerjack and Blue Skies Up Ahead suggest that perhaps he really is right not to try to do too much without Will Sergeant ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 15:45:00 -0500 From: "Ted Turner" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Re: Swell Maps did anyone go buy a Swell Maps record yet? thx Ted <---------------------------------------------------> Ted Turner: UWSA/CKUW 95.9 FM Advertising & Sponsorship Manager Ph: 204 786 9779 *** Fx: 204 783 7080 Room 0R32 - University of Winnipeg 515 Portage Ave Winnipeg MB Canada R3B 2E9 tturner2@uwinnipeg.ca www.theuwsa.ca www.ckuw.org <---------------------------------------------------> Rates/specs: CKUW - www.ckuw.org/ratecard.jpg Stylus - www.ckuw.org/stylusrates.pdf Uniter - http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~uwsaweb/Uniterrates_page_1.htm Handbook- www.ckuw.org/UWSA_handbook.jpg - www.ckuw.org/Handbook_Specs. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amy Moseley Rupp" To: Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2003 11:16 PM Subject: Re: seven-seas Be Afraid................... > > No Amy this is a good season for us...last year we got relegated. > > Yes, that's true.... but a good fight against Liverpool last year. > > I *have* at least made an attempt to learn something about this! > > > > ====================================== > http://www.bunnymenlist.com > > ====================================== ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 22:42:19 +0100 From: "Shaz" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Re: seven-seas UNCUT Magazine : Slideling Review Yeah, love it too...... wispering Bob Harris played Stake Your Claim on his show on BBC 6 Music on Sunday - I like that one even better.......it chugs along nicely in an upbeat way..
