I love the way that Cope sings "you" and "few."

Another criminally neglected record is The Dukes Of Hang-gliding's My Cinema. This is a brilliant record.

Let me second that. Great to see you around here again! I very much like your takes on the albums, even if I've not heard some of them in particular. :-)
This week I've been obsessing over the Chameleons, but rather than picking out one of theirs -- it would almost seem too obvious to me at this point! -- let me suggest No-Man's Returning Jesus. As suffused with all the delicate restraint and beauty of, say, late Talk Talk without specifically sounding like it -- it's the type of record that is as much a vocal-piano duet as it is an ambient orchestration masterpiece -- it's miles away from where the band started and helped confirm with me that Tim Bowness is the most underrated English singer of the nineties. Everyone over there now who wants to be Jeff Buckley is as nothing compared to him.

Much as I like Felt Me And A Monkey never really grabbed me - though maybe I'll go back to it based on your recomendation.

Oh, before I forget, Tim -- the Chameleons shows this past week were glorious. Wish you coulda been here!

Cluster 71, is also undervalued. What a great album. Yet many critics overlook Cluster when ever Krautrock/Space-Rock is mentioned.
Also the Soft Boys are overlooked. They were a fantastic band, with Hitchcock and Rew trading guitar lines and Morris pounding out a ridiculously muscular beat. Good times.

But yeah, both bands' records are great to sing along to. Those other records sound good too.
