Due to the glowing recommendations from this group, i have just purchased karma, delerium's second album. i already had their first album, but i am pretty far out of the loop most of the time and did not even know they had a second one. i am dissappointed that they could not all contain the multimedia parts. i am really into that stuff. i almost got a job doing that for nettwork, but lane said that they needed someone with in the week and they did not think i could move to new york city within a week. i told them i could of course but they would not listen. but now i can say i met someone who met sarah mclachlan. so yeah the delerium is really cool actually. i am especially fond of the ninth track, wisdom, sung by our mutual admiree kristy. its just been so lodged in my head now for two days. its the first thing i play in the morning and the last thing i play at night. as for other bands i would recommend, i am guessing that you have already exhauted the cocteau twins, another favorite of mine. actually i suspect that if you buy so many disks along this line that the entire 4ad catalog has been pretty much covered, but if not, a band called his name is alive is another good one. also i am betting that single gun theory is pretty familier to you already. i am a big fan of angelo badalamenti, who together with lyricist david lynch and vocalist julee cruse did the twin peaks soundtrack. how about miranda sex garden? i would also be interested in seeing some responses to this question, besides these. i am always looking for more things to buy buy buy. i am driven to buy buy buy. i think it is something in our water. bye bye bye! +++++++++++++++++++++GEoff Ciotti+++++++++++++++++++++++++ seymourlavey@earthlink.net pork@kosher.com vociferous@geocities.com http://home.earthlink.net/~seymourlavey/ http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/lofts/4016 http://www.geocities.com/SiliconVally/Way/6414 Quote of the Month: "Blasphemy is a victimless crime." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------ End of vicious-thorn-digest V1 #52 **********************************
