If any remixer can do them justice, it is Jody and Nick of W.O.W. p.s. I bet Birdy knows the W.O.W. people. Steve G. > The band's classic "Lips Like Sugar" will be remixed by Way Out West ... ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://www.villiersterrace.com * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 14:58:28 +0100 From: "Steven Bowie" Subject: RE: seven-seas Manchester review Kristin Smith obviously hasnt got a clue about music and reporting on concerts..as someone said earlier..maybe she should stickk to the sugababes....get a life girl... -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Kristin Smith" Reply-To: seven-seas@smoe.org To: seven-seas@smoe.org Subject: seven-seas Manchester review Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 09:46:00 +1300 > This is at variance with every comment I have seen on the B.c >forum. > >http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/entertainment/music/livereviews/s/179/1796 >87_echo__the_bunnymen__academy_1.html > >Friday, 28th October 2005 >Echo & The Bunnymen @ Academy 1 >Sarah Walters >FLAT PERFORMANCE: Ian and Co27/10/05 >IN the battle of cocky frontmen, you can keep your Liam Gallaghers >and your Johnny Borrells, because Ian McCulloch beats them hands >down. >As the man who once declared himself bthe best singer in the best >band in existenceb swaggers on stage, itbs clear hebs lost none >of his legendary confidence. >Yet, the lacklustre set suggests that the bandbs spark is finally >fizzling out. >Despondent >Opener Going Up leaves the crowd despondent and even two tunes from >their 1981 Heaven Up Here LP canbt convince the audience to shuffle >its feet. >The dreamy, if not flawless, Bring On the Dancing Horses finally >gets the evening going and from there itbs hard to complain about >whatbs on offer b All That Jazz, Back of Love, Never Stop, The >Cutter And The Killing Moon, sung for the most part by the audience. >But the performance is flat and McCulloch, although still an >extraordinary vocalist, seems more intent on bending the soundmanbs >ear than pouring his heart into the show. >In fact, he barely moves until Siberiabs stand-out tune, swirling >disco number Scissors In The Sand, halfway through the set. >Time to bow out gracefully?

But kristen is a valuable member of this list, And she post many relevant links to reviews etc. She doesn't write them....
