Why Does The Rain was a single, as was the much superior Up The Hill And Down The Slope.
Up The Hill is classic Loft, and the 12" has four finely crafted pop songs, one of which is a divine cover of the Richard Hell classic 'Time'. Also 'Your Door Shines Just Like Gold' which is also on the Creation 'Alive In The Living Room' in a live version which i actually like even better. And yeah, 'Winter' is a great song too. the Weather Prophets never quite made it up to the heights attained by The Loft, although many thought peter Astor was a great songwriter. he had a penchant for singing about the weather though, about which the Jasmine Minks wrote the playfully mocking 'Summer, Where?'. Speaking of the Jasmine Minks, Jim and Tom are playing acoustically this tuesday night at the Bar 12 club in sunny London town. I say go along and give them some cheer. stay gold, the duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
