over the past few weeks, because of such high praise of said bands, i've picked up cds by each of these artists. Disco Inferno's "Technicolour" was listened to once, and sold back. sounded like some bad brit pop something or other. Bark Psychosis' "Hex" is a little better, sorta reminds me of Talk Talk, but i've only put it on once or twice, and i just got AR Kane's "69" yesterday, and it's kinda cool, but i just don't know. luckily they were all pretty cheap, so i don't mind.

i am not british so I say no. i also like that you can buy a lot of this type of stuff for a couple bucks. i just got Euphoria for like 4$ (including shipping).

These records aren't very immediate, to me; they are a little hard to grasp at first. I'm not sure why. I'm not english so that can't be it.

but that's the kinda stuff i look for. i think maybe i listened to so much american post rock and other experimental music that this stuff seems, i dunno, too immediate. maybe there's a non-immediate immediacy that i need to wait for to get it?

You know how these singles were even more fully ignored than the full-length, but that when compiled, these EPs make just as much of a classic album as Pop is
Yes, yes I do. ;-)
FSA suck ass.

That's both cool and frightening if true.
The offer to burn still stands as always -- Scott Seward and another ILXor are on the to burn list. Thanks for Nick for offering to take care of the UK wing; I'm more than happy to accept requests from literally anywhere.

Moonshake's Eva Luna is very immediate, but then so is Technicolor to me and the title track is closer to Def Leppard than it is to britpo(o)p.
I wouldn't reccommend listening to Disco Inferno, say, in your car because it ends up sounding like a jumbled mess (or you could just turn it up really loud). I think if they wanted to be more successfull they should have put the vocals higher up in the mix (like Moonshake [except when the girl is singing and I spose they weren't much more 'successfull']).

If you drink Sunny Delight for years and years, that first sip of fresh-squeezed Valencia might well taste a little strange and off-putting.

I really enjoyed disco inferno. Bark Psychosis is also good.
But AR Kane is just boring.

I will openly admit to actively disliking AR Kane. I had 69 and the Lolita EP and I recently traded both for some Ohio Express records and I feel like I got the better end of that deal by far.
Love Bark Psychosis and Disco Inferno is fine by me.

Really, really want to love Bark Psychosis but every time I listen to Hex the vocals remind me of this
