It's like on paper they tick all the right boxes for me to like them , but when I listen to them there's just something lacking that I can't put my finger on.

I only like a couple of shoegaze bands. A lot of them are sort of samey. And uh... I'd have to say there are probably more asian teenagers listening to Loveless than there are fish in the sea.

Haha, I like it. I don't try to analyse it or anything, it's just... good background music, and I say that in the nicest way possible. Well, I think it's good.

I felt exactly the same when i listened to Cats and Dogs, which is a bugger because i like the track on the High Fidelity soundtrack.

James Grant - Strange Flowers.

Ex Love and Money frontman's 5th solo album, and probably his best yet. The title track was written for a Swedish vampire movie that never got made - and you can see it working.

James's voice is reminiscent of Scott Walker on a few of the tracks.

Sure thing!
I thought the second one was lacking a bit although my description might sound interesting

. Who knows anyways...you might end up liking it more.

Anyways, here's another one I bought an hour back -

Iration Steppas - Dubz From De Higher Regionz
Some of the most bass heavy dub I've ever heard! Might send shock waves across your head or room depending on what you use. No kidding! Is that a good or a bad thing, I'm not really sure

i've got an hour-long soundsystem clash between Iration Steppas (from Leeds incidentally, the place to go for live soundsystems I am told) and Zion Train, i'll upload it i think if anybody fancies (it's got quite a bit of hiss like alot of these things). The album 'Original Dub D.A.T.' is not nearly as impressive.

Send it across! I'm definitely interested

.

As for Iration Steppas...I got their release through my friend and haven't ripped it yet! All their youtube stuff from this album seems to be live, so the bass isn't all that noticeable. (although most of it sounds good)

YouTube - Iration Steppas - Locks

I Just Found the new Sam Roberts CD, "Love At The End Of The World"
