I know the guys who tracked that record. I hadn't even heard of it when they played it at their studio, but it sounded really well done. Couple stellar songs.

Best, Marcel

From what I can gather it was the first album where they had a sizable budget, Andy Wallace mixing etc.

I like it, but imo sounds like they were pushing a little to hard for mass market appeal.

Their earlier stuff is great though. All mixed and produced by Chris Sheldon, who bizarrely mixed the only foo album I still rate.

Out of interest, who tracked it/ where?

Garth Richardson and Ben Kaplan.

I don't know where, I suspect Garth's place (The Farm) here in Vancouver, but may not have been.

I'll check out the other albums... Which is your pick?

Best, Marcel

Its a difficult choice between The Vertigo of Bliss and Infinity Land. Perhaps the latter is a little more complete and quicker to get into.

While your at it check out Effloresce by Oceansize. My favorite album to plug, in the vain hope that this band will get at least some recognition.

The Uk has some quality bands at the moment. Unfortunately you would never realise this judging from what gets playlisted. Crying or Very Sad

"they seem to be the last remaining straight rock band."

i suppose that's why they don't believe in aids testing...
