It all flowed well and even gave a better glimpse of what they were doing musically at the time. also, I know several people who WON'T buy a remastered cd EVER without any extra tracks... their thought on the subject is "why bother?" and if ya think about it... as fans... aren't we getting kinda 'screwed' buying something we sort of already have? btw before you shout... YES I will buy all the new bunny stuff released... and have through the years... just gets really expensive sometimes... and I feel so much better about it all when there are extras. fwiw I still have to order the "new" avalache just for the two EF tracks officially put to cd. last cd I purchased was The Creatures "sad cunt" cd single because three years ago it was sold as a ltd edition 7in only release... and the fans bitched that they wanted it put to cd. so now I have both. I'm glad though as I prefer cds now. more convienient and, at the mo, both my turntables have bust. :( oh and Amy, I too was a PIB. always wear the eyeliner but the lipstick pissed me off because it always came off on my drinks and cigarettes! - -hee, sounds like a sissies siong, dunnit? ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 May 2003 12:24:10 -0400 From: Red Subject: seven-seas Re: OT !!

F. Smith" Subject: seven-seas Slideling Review http://www.soundgenerator.com/burner/reviews_records.cfm?reviewid=319ww 3 May 2003 Type: Album Review By: Editor Rating: 9 Ian McCulloch - Slideling Ian McCulloch loves writing songs. Here he proves that in the twenty-five years since he first started out with Echo & The Bunnymen not much has changed. In fact he still wears the same kind of clothes and the same kind of hair. Probably smokes the same kind of cigarettes. Luckily for us he still writes the same kind of songs. 'Slideling' finds McCulloch getting a little more sentimental, perhaps a little more mellow and certainly even more melodic. 'Love In Veins' kicks off the album, an up-tempo rocky blues number, strings and guitar sing out with that classic McCulloch/Bunnymen sound. 'Playgrounds And City Parks' stands out as a great song, a look at Mac's childhood perhaps? Lyrical and poignant, very Velvet Underground -what more do you want. 'Slideling' the current and first single taken from the album is really basic in structure but effective and again immediate. 'Baby Hold On' again is melodic as you like and is a beautiful cracking song and stands out as one of the albums finest. 'Arthur' sees Mac pacing the slow broken phrases over a slowish skippy beat, piano, guitar and cello. Light colours painting a pastel scene of maturity, dreamy backing vocals and images of a perfect scene. 'Another Train' which sits in two parts with different tempos, is tinged with those American influences. A poignant horn supports Mac's voice with beautiful country style guitar. 'High Wires' is reminiscent of a British 60's beat combo. A really positive sounding up beat track. Perfect in detail right down to the backing vocals. 'Kansas' is another guitar driven mid tempo, dreamy backing vocal experience. Strong but simple lyrics. The album finishes, as it started, immediate and exact. Americana creeps in and we see the elements of Mac's influences un ashamedly present. The guitar work on this album is simple, great sounding and well placed, the production is basic the arrangements are gentle and uncluttered. It is exactly want we want and what works. What we are left with is space for the songs to breathe. Mac's voice has never lost it; in fact he has matured with the voice and with his heart. Slightly softer, darker yet positive and lyrical. It is good to be able to reach out and grab an album by one of the UK's most effective and honest songwriters. Whilst many after twenty five years disappear or fail to return with something of substance, here we see McCulloch do exactly that - produce an album worth having, worth listening to and worth calling great. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #243 ********************************
