tjena, tjena, mittbena ! Hi everyone ! I have a bit of a problem and was thinking who better to ask than the B&S gang. A couple of weeks ago i bought a compilation record with creation groups called creation soup vol 1. and on that record there was a group called The Loft, with 2 songs one was called Like and that was pretty good but the other song called Why does the rain was absolutely breathtaking, i must say i thought they reminded me a bit of B&S, anyway does anyone have some information they can share, how many records, which one why does the rain is on. thanks ! /markus Make belive that it`s okay, make belive that nothing matters, and you`ll make it through this day, and you`ll make it through the night /Stuart Staples ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Well. The Loft were on Creation Records in the mid eighties and featured Peter Astor (later of the Weather Prophets and himself) and probably some other musicians. Why Does The Rain was a single, as was the much superior Up The Hill And Down The Slope. There was a compilation LP released in the late eighties, possibly early eighties called Once Around The Fair 1982-1985 which had the singles and b sides on, it is ace, my other fave songs are Winter and On A Tuesday....

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. .
