Sounded pretty faithful to the record, as I recall... though I must confess it's never been the standout track for me that it has for others. Much better, IMHO, was the blazing version of "Satellite" they played at the Opera House on the Grey Album tour. It hadn't been released yet, and I remember thinking it was gonna be killer -- but sadly the album's production kind of muted the fire. Never heard them play it since. Now, if they only played "Tourquoise Days"... ;) best, FBC F R A N K _ C O L E M A N Designer > Developer > Drummer Interactive > Online > TV > Video > Audio > Print Founder and CEO > Intravenous TeleVision > http://www.ivtv.com Portfolio > 21st Century Art > http://www.21ca.com Member > Bentmen > http://www.bentmen.com Chairman > Web Development Sub-Committee > Advanced Media Committee > National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences > http://www.nynatas.org/newmedia/ ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * http://www.neonhalos.blogspot.com ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 13:21:09 -0400 From: rossnteka@aol.com Subject: Re: seven-seas Re: The Game's Still Shimmering Aura The thing that gets me about The Game is the lyrics and the tone of Will's guitar. It sounds like the goodbye, I've had enough song.

XFM played it loads and so did 6 Music and others too. My theory is the band had high hopes for it, but despite being popular with the radio stations it didn't do as well as expected :-( Then they played it live (can't remember where/when at the mo) and Mac introduced it as 'a turd', probably because it didn't do as well as expected or because I think it had something to do with that Kong guy who had just left the band (sorry memory a bit hazy so not too sure of exact details) for some reason....
