F. Smith" Subject: seven-seas Sealed 'Lips' review http://music.ign.com/articles/492/492011p1.html I have excerpted the relevant portion: Perhaps the most interesting coupling comes in the form of Seal covering Echo & The Bunnymen's seminal comeback tune "Lips Like Sugar." I have to admit to loving this song. Hell, I bought the album on vinyl the day it came out back in 1987. I taped it and still listen to that tape in the aged Alpine deck that resides in the dashboard of my '91 Jetta. I love the opulence of that song, the swirling guitars, late 80's washes of synth, and Ian McCulloch's trippy tenor. Seal's deliver is all slick and smooth, taking the song into a whole new direction that is at first familiar, yet strangely foreign. It's one of those covers that irks the hell out of you the first time you listen to it, but then you soon become stuck in its sugary aura. The wonderful chorus extrapolations of Mikey Dread help to elevate it beyond being just a sappy reworking. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 13:40:31 -0500 From: Red Subject: Re: seven-seas Sealed 'Lips' review At 09:34 AM 2/13/04 -0700, you wrote: >It's one of >those covers that irks the hell out of you the first time you listen to it, >but then you soon become stuck in its sugary aura.

Yeah, it'd definitely rank on a compilation to be played at ear-splitting volume if someone wanted me to crack.
