[coast to coast]

my favourite bit is at the end of harmonia

"I lept from the cliff into a pool of Jersey river water, Jersey river water..."

 

[Unicron]

What record should someone who has never listened to him go for first?

 

[ronan]

I'd nearly say just go sequentially (starting with the Not The Way EP and then on to the album 'A')

His music isn't very instant though, i know a lot of people who have dismissed him too quickly.
It's so rewarding given time though

Wot Ro sed. You could even listen to the two most recent records first, just don't start with Prefection. I still don't have the love for that record. Musically it doesn't fit into his other canon of work and as far the production - it's an experiment that didn't work imho.

i love prefection and the production! oh well. id say dropping the writ is his most accessible anyway. id consider the rest to be on a par with each other.

whoop!

 

[David Kronenbourg]

prefection is amazing, are ye mad?! city of brotherly love. swoon! can't wait to hear this new one

 

[Wheels]

I really like a few tunes off Prefection, (Equinox, Sacred Heart, Cuckoo and one or two others) but I thought his ideas were too all over the place for the record to work. What the fuck is going on on the last track for a start?! But anyway, Cass is great.

I'd started with Dropping the Writ having heard a live version of That's That. I think was sold by the time I got to hear the studio version (the third track).

An elegant and subtle songwriter.

 

[Thebeard]

I agree with Wheels, Prefection is a bit tought to get into. DTW is an animal.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

listening to catacombs now. very nice. will be a grower i think. i can see myself obsessing over this album in the coming weeks/months

 

[rettucs]

this is very sugary sweet. I'm quite surprised.

Its a tiny bit overbearingly so, but by in large I like it

 

[ronan]

He's back in Whelans again on 26th November, yay!!

 

[IFF]

i may go to that

 

[the departed]

fuckin ace. let's hope the loudmouth obnoxious pricks aren't there this time.

oh, and turn the lights off...

 

[coast to coast]
