and yes, i did forget lush. another band who promised loads and ended up being crap-pop underachievers. like the house of love.
Hmm, well I agree that the house of love went to seed - I think it was the lack of media support plus things went sour with their record company - fontana? However, have you listened to the new Guy Chadwick album, Lazy Soft & Slow? It is really really good. I reckon if you like B&S, you'll probably like this album, it's very laid-back & ballad-y. A bare handful of songs sound like v. early HOL, but for the most it is a new direction, really charming stuff. I saw the House of Love several times, and went to see Guy Chadwick back in ooh, March I guess... it was a pity to see him reduced to playing to such a small crowd - small venue, nowhere near packed out AND I overheard one of the roadies saying it was a good turnout!!!

It amazes me it's taken so long for people to 'get' spiritualized, personally speaking I think their other albums are equally great. regards, stephen (listening to tortoise's tnt and craig armstrong's the space between us at the moment) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
