I saw them live a couple of times. The early EP's are great but then I moved on. I really like the track "Jack". The album ...XYZ has almost all you need.

I wound up grabbing all three already. Will make a nice playlist.

You should check out there Peel Sessions as well particuraly the version of 'Suzanne' also love their cover of 'Kidney Bingos'
Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "Listen, mate, "life" has surface noise."

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

This site is a good resource: http://www.dreampop.it/

He gets his lists from rateyourmusic.com, but it's a nice way to check out some new stuff and looks good, too.

Cool and thanks. A rather varied attitude to dream pop, so that's a definite plus.

Yeah, it's nice to not have a list full of 10 bands that sound exactly the same. For my part, I recommend those first couple of For Against records, if you haven't heard them. I put them more in post-punk territory, but they're pretty interesting.

Heard of them, never heard them. Will investigate.

They're a bit on the pop side of post-punk—the bands that wound up being New Wave stars, though these guys never did, and I don't think they wanted to. The real work to check out is their EP, In the Marshes.

Okay, that's what I'll look for.

I started with their compilation album Soundpool. It combines their first two EPs, if I'm not mistaken. Really great instrumental tunes.
