It's an interesting title, that much can be said. A good Souvlaki, space station aside, should have substance, flavor, an enticing aroma, and at least a slight kick to it.
None of which are found in this song.
Oh, good! It's over.

I really like to run to this song...perfect beat. Their other stuff is good as well; I think some members of this band went on to form Mojave 3.

Lyrics:

Closed doors brings open minds
(And I don't want to see you)
See you smile, inside
(And I don't want to know you)
Faces, and I've fallen
(And I don't want to hear you)
Wonder why I'm here now

In asylum, don't you see?
In asylum, don't you see?

Doors close and feelings flow
(And I don't want to know you)
Through my mind I feel his
(And I don't want to hear you)
Pictures, and I've fallen
(And I don't want to know you)
Wonder why I'm here now
(I promise to be near you)

Curse your soul, I don't want to know you
And I
Curse your soul, I don't want to know you

/wow, that's kinda bleak.

The first half was good. Like Sigur. However, it's starting to become grating.

Thank you, this helps a lot. Really! My first thought was Sigur Ros, then CT. And IMO anything produced by Eno is GOOD.

If this is not Hidden Radio - it's a solid 0.5 on the ratings scale.

Gee, I really didn't like it on that day.
It's a new day and I like it only 0.2 better, so in my book it's jumped to 0.7.
A point in this tune's favor...
Without stuff like this, I don't appreciate my 7-10's as much.

Hell, now that you mention it, I am hearing MBV in here (not really a stretch, they're both shoegazer bands). But all the talk of Sigur Ros in the other comments is making me see that too

The reverb and delay knobs on their equipment must be stuck at max setting or something, but it's still nice to listen to :)

Throw in some My Bloody Valentine... but no, not identical... Comparing most albums of both bands. CT went softer/poppier... Sigur Ros does the same trick in a way as Slowdive did. For one, CT tends to have more pronounced vocal stylings and way less pronounced fuzzy guitar layers...

I discovered these guys in the early days of the web... a message board where you could vote your fave CD to umm, "get intimate" with. This was #1 (roxy's avalon was, number 2...) Not everyone's cup o' tea, but there's one song on it that actually makes me dizzy if i crank it up enough.

And yes, it is a very "useful" CD!

Mojave 3's "ask me tomorrow" is pretty -- to me it seems like the companion to neil Young's "harvest". Just something similar about the sense of place they both have, to me.

IMO their best album (third, 1993)... One more followed after which they disbanded into Mojave 3, which has a more acoustic/traditional approach and still make albums...Neil Halstead is the songwriter mostly. Both got a song in the library as well...

Slowdive was initially more along the lines of My Bloody Valentine and/or other 'shoe gazers'...

Sigur Rós reminds me a lot of Slowdive, with Icelandic flavours added...

Hmmm, very interesting. This CD is ten years old and I've never heard it. I'd like to hear one or two more tracks before I committed to buying it, but this is pretty good stuff.
