Are you saying BOTH albums are derivative of / reflections on / pale imitations of Bowie? Or only one of them? Assuming that either of them are supposed to be reflections of Bowie I'd say that it's a fun house mirror :-) - --Amy, laughing, thinking of Bowie in a fun house mirror, though to be fair, I think I've previously outed myself as a take-him-or-leave-him listener of Bowie's (yes, yes, I know, I'm very sad) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 22:37:36 +0100 From: "K.P.
