I don't particularly like Beatles or Radiohead so you're not really selling me on it Smile

On the laptop.

Their debut album, from 1996.

This band have been on the radar for what seems like an eternity, and I've finally got round to checking them out. Glad I have...

Neil Halstead, & Rachel Goswell previously played with cult UK Indie band Slowdive, but this is a significant departure from their earlier work.

When Goswell sings solo, there's an uncanny resemblance to Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmins, and the music is a pretty good match also. Woozy Alt-Coutry that's very relaxing without being soporific.

Fine Album.


AllMusic 4/5 stars.

On the laptop.

Their sixth album, from 2005.

I have a couple of discs by this band, which are both very good, so I'm diggin' deeper.

Nothing showy, just some well-crafted songs, but somehow this didn't capture the imagination in the way I'd expected. There's another of theirs to check out, but if it's similar to this, Spoon will be off the Buy List !!

On the laptop.

Debut album from Swedish Alt-Pop-Rock band, released in 2003.

There's a definite '60s feel to some of this material, with Farfisa organ featuring, and a musical similarity to the dreamier sound of Nico period Velvet Underground.

Lovely album, which makes the Buy List.
