I haven't had a chance to absorb it all yet, but have steered my way through some highlights. Will's guitar sounds better than ever on "Show of Strength"...coming through like a rich melodic fog horn. The alternate version of "My White Devil" has become an immediate fave from the "Porcupine" disc. The strings are deep and rich on "Ocean Rain" and Mac's voice soars. The bells in "Yo Yo Man" sound like they are ringing straight out of a baroque masterpiece. I haven't had a chance to turn my attention to "Crocodiles" yet, but thus far I'm impressed. I have to admit I was a wee bit uncertain at first...I mean how many times in my life will I shell out for these discs, but it was worth the price and my old copies now reside with my eight year old's collection. The acid test for me was just how close CD could come to recapturing the warmth and depth of vinyl and I think this is about as close as anyone could hope to get. I am gonna be cranking these like I'm 18 again.

I think it sounds like WAYGTDWYL part > 2. > I agree with the WAYGTDWYL comparison. I think WAYGTDWYL is sort of a de facto solo album. But to me, solo work vs. Bunnymen work is apples & oranges, or (I like to make these analogies), watercolor & oils, the aurora borealis & a fireworks display.... I've loved Bunnymen albums for 20 years, and I can't say I think the solo work is 'better' -- but it 'speaks' to my particular sensibilities, or whatever. - - K :) ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 05:42:18 +0000 From: "Peter Burnand" Subject: seven-seas-moderated crown of thorns Just heard that trippy dippy spooky little Thorn of Crowns remix by Paul TR008, it's totally boss.

Class line, David! - --- seven-seas Limited Uk dates for anniversary tour I like Flowers better. :P ;-) Red Flowers is a real beaut, defo. Love the sound quality esp. when you play it loud or through headphones. - --- seven-seas crown of thorns Amy, it's a track from the Best Of The Trash CD. I bought it yonks ago but to be honest never got round to listening to it until recently. Perhaps Ivan may know if it's still available and where to get it. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 13:20:53 -0000 From: "shaz" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Re: seven-seas crown of thorns yeah, I always loved that one too :-) Shaz - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Burnand" To: Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 5:42 AM Subject: seven-seas crown of thorns > Just heard that trippy dippy spooky little Thorn of Crowns remix by > Paul TR008, it's totally boss.
