fucking big. And yeah 5 years is so fucking criminal (they did make a lot of cash tho).

I'm sorry but check the attention to detail and level of precision on wassisface's gtr playing, first half only, after his solo, he obviously dons it so hard he doesn't need to try any more, bit like their second album? Am i wrong? Anyways badass gtr, bare focus like like the man with the slick back hair in the Nemrut kabab house, bethnal green, chicken shish, large one, few things in life are that certain...

...thanks for posting!!!! is there more?

...if you haven't heard this album, stop fucking abaaat and listen to it.....

....does it still work as a first listen in 2007?

This bodes well for the future.

"Apparently even venue staff were unaware of the live gig, and the person working the door actually charged Gibbons entry."

Thats a true secret gig[/quote]

Beth Gibons voice is outstanding. Had me in tears at the end.

regular downtime listening...

God, that vibrato Beth's got just melts me every time.

Glad to see them back together, although I think they will have to radically alter their sound if they want to stay relevant in 2007.

i suppose, but they were such pioneers of the downtempo sound, im sure that whatever they do, their fans will love. they are that good.

I still listen to Dummy at least twice a week.

misk · Post by **misk** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 6:17 pm

dummy is an amazing album, but an ex-girlfriend of mine really ruined that album for me... she got more into it than me, and ended up kinda cheating on me... there goes a good album. i hate it when that happens.
