Rachel's appreciation... (1 Viewer)

[Alan Remorse]

Loved this band for about 7/8 years now... Very few bands I could say that about. Listened to 3 albums in a row in work today.

Selenography is a masterpiece. I love all their records though.

I think they're criminally underrated...

If you love them, shout it from a virtual rooftop here

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Yes
Yes
Yes

 

[the departed]

yep. just recently completed the back catalogue with music for egon scheile.

 

[Bitchcock]

Responsible for some of the most beautiful and powerful music of the last 15 years..
Water from the Same Source turns me into a dribbling mess on the ground...which is a bit alarming to strangers

 

[Nate Champion]

Yes! 'handwriting' is special. Only actually have the first two..any of the other three worth checking out?

I met Jason Noble at Primavera. I was hammered.

 

[Alan Remorse]

They're all amazing.
Selenography is my fave, followed by Systems/Layers I think.. But only got Systems/Layers recently.

 

[cpr]

I am great...oh wait...

The Sea and The Bells is lovely and Amazing

 

[billygannon]

You've only liked them for 7/8 years!

 

[OOAL]

The Sea and The Bells is lovely and Amazing

Phenomenal record.

Selenography, Handwriting & Systems/Layers all ace too.

 

[Wheels]

yes, love this group. Picked up Music For Egon Schiele on vinyl in London a few years ago, and it's one my most treasured records. Everything else must stop when the needle drops on that one.

 

[plug]

yes! the sea the bells is probably my favourite album ever.

 

[hermie]

Big, big fan. Hard to choose a favourite but I'd probably go for Selonography as it's the one I got first.
Are they still playing together?

 

[bogmanfan]

Egon Schiele is flawless. To be honest, they're all pretty flawless. Definitely one of my favourite groups. Think Esperanza from Systems/Layers is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard. Was absolutely gutted when air traffic control problems at Heathrow prevented them playing that gig in TBMC back in 2000. Distraught so I was.

 

[plug]

anyone remember them at atp? I was probably quite drunk; don't remember much about it in retrospect except that it was good.

 

[Alan Remorse]

Big, big fan. Hard to choose a favourite but I'd probably go for Selonography as it's the one I got first.
Are they still playing together?

Their website says they're "in hibernation" or something. I doubt they'll play again, they're involved in a load of other stuff these days as far as i know...

 

[Alan Latchley]

Crikey, I was only listening to 'Egon Schiele' last night. Love that album, and have a soft spot for 'Systems/Layers' too. Must dig out the others later on.

 

[tombstome]

Remember listening to "Water from the same source" off Systems/Layers with Plug & Bitchcock and the three of us being totally fucking moved.
we were pretty demented at the time but..
Rachels fans should check that Max Richter kid
Blue Notebooks is sweet

 

[Bitchcock]

Their mini album collaboration with Matmos - "Full on Night" is absolutely amazing too
Don't listen to it in bed though - you'll whack yr head off something when 'that bit' happens
