the bass playing on GSHF is really tasty too.

they are a proficient, deceptively imaginative band with an original and compelling style who do not have a proper ILM thread of their own ;_;
they wanted to be the Canadian XTC and largely succeeded on their own terms

From the first time I saw the cover to this album I felt like it was something special to me, something that nobody else would understand. Now I can see some of the flaws but still I think I like The Soft Parade more than probably 99% of humanity. That first song slays, the closing is tribal psychedelic sugary fun. The "I'm gonna love you" part in "Touch Me" I would gladly trade a zillion "God Only Knows" for.

I'm the only person I've met so far that recognizes Hetch Hetchy's Swollen as the best Hugo Largo album, and hence in the running for best dream pop of the 80s.

Its not my fault that other otherwise sane people aren't Paul Lansky completists. And yet, even amongst them, few recognize More Than Idle Chatter as the best psychedelic album of the 90s.

Eusebe: Tale's From Mama's Yard. This is a mid-90s British rap album by a trio consisting of two girls and one guy. It's quite poppy and a bit smooth, but is also has some clever political and social commentary. Apparently the group never released anything else after it. The album was released by EMI, so it's not like it's some obscure indie record, but I've only managed to find one online review of it. It has 0 ratings on Discogs.com, and Eusebe itself has 99 listeners on Last.fm, but apparently the majority of those have only listened to the radio edit of their single "Summertime Healing". I even started a thread about Eusebe:
Whatever happened to Eusebe?
...but it seems only two other ILXors have ever heard anything by the group.

Despite the fact that seemingly every sentient being in the free world thought the debut album by Birdland was a steaming pile of dung, I quite like several tracks on it.
yup. i still play the white vinyl copy from time to time, and do indeed enjoy it. though when i spotted a recent compilation of the album and all the other stuff they recorded on one cd for a few quid i let it pass. a few tracks is more than enough !

I remember Expando Brain, the band, but have never heard the album. The set I saw ended the guitarist just banging on one chord for five minutes, and making it totally entrancing. Don't think they had a record out at that point.

Even though I don't listen to much indie rock these days I'll still rep for the first two Downy Mildew albums (Broomtree, 1987 and Mincing Steps, 1988). Three ilx threads on them but not much positivity!
