So it seems I’ll probably be most into their early (?) stuff that’s scratchier, but they definitely have an interesting mix of sounds. I’ll be checking them out for sure.
Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts. Based on what you wrote, yup, the stuff up to 1988's Bird Wood Cage would be up your alley. The two albums in the early 90s were more electronic dancey and smooth. BWC is definitely their peak, tho.
They seem to have a bit of a Wire trajectory without the Send return. I think that if I got more into their earlier stuff I may wind up being more receptive to their electronic era. It may have just been my mood that day, too.
This was, I believe, their biggest hit, from the early 90s. I'm not keen on it.

I feel bad because I think it was the Small Faces thread I started that led to the trouble. He hasn't posted much since then and that's a shame.

I doubt that is the reason mate. Willy is made of much stronger stuff.

But life's very good for me just now, even some romantic possibilities looming :approve: I'll get back to posting more soon (for better or worse :shifty: ) So cheers for youse guys concern - you're all lovely cats and rock like hell!

All's good then, I just thought it got a bit frayed in that thread. Great to hear about the gig and glad you're ok mate.

Ps. Rod sucks.
