Does one need to be British to enjoy Disco Inferno, Bark Psychosis & AR Kane?

These records aren't very immediate, to me; they are a little hard to grasp at first.

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']).

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?

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.

Sim0n R3ynolds jock-ridin' ball-trippin' foolishness knows no political boundaries. That said I heard Hex once and it sounded kinda neat (can't remember anything though). A.R. Kane sounds like whales humping and I haven't heard Disco Inferno yet.

YOU EXTOL THE VIRTUES OF LIMP BIZKIT ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT YOU HAVE NOT HEARD DISCO INFERNO YET.

Unlike Alex in NYC, I will not damn thee out of hand. But e-mail me your address NOW, you punk. You're getting a CDR whether you like it or not.

shall I return the favor with the finest of droppings from Fred's Chocolate Starfish?

Thank you no. That I have heard. I curse myself to this day.

Ned your Disco Inferno proselytizing knows no bounds. I applaud you sir (but quietly so that the neighbors in my building aren't anymore frightened of me than they already are from the weird loud musics and weird smelling curries).

two weeks pass...
I got the three albuns.

I really enjoyed disco inferno. Bark Psychosis is also good.

But AR Kane is just boring.

*enjoys A.R. Kane's 69 although he has heard people think it sounds like Cocteau Twins with something up their ass*

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
