definitely belong to the "Oh Yesss" family.
i was trying to guess what could come after that.
"Mysteries" , (Beth too) would be a good choice.
thanks Bill

I was so disappointed with that CD.  This song is so brilliant, but half the songs on the album are just, well, I hesitate to say "very very bad" but they just aren't good.

How can you not get Portishead? listen to more triphop, Bill needs to play some Tricky already.

Reminds me of how Todd Rundgren used to incorporate one of those Casiotone toys into his music.

I'm extremely fond of this song, allthough I can't say that it has ever made me feel any better:-)

I can 'feel it'.

Funny to read the negative comments though.

 

Love this song but find the CD rather mediocre.

For those who aren't feeling this song, I can attest that they pull off an amazing version of it live.

It was stunning.

Thanks for the tip — that's too bad though.  I was just realizing I have their first 2 albums but not this one.  Thought I might add this to my collection, but guess I'll preview samples of all songs first.....

As are so many acts; me, I'm grateful for their hits and to RP for exposing me to many I'd've otherwise never known.

They would probably be very upset to learn that you don't consider them "professional" enough.

Well, for one, I love this "mediocre tune".

 

But for two, please do.  I mean, please rip these songs and upload them to Bill.  He has taken several of my uploads to date.
