Yeah, why not?! Loved these guys in their heyday. Their videos were always great, a central part of their appeal, but some very good tracks as well.

God, this takes me back to my teens. I remember going absolutely ape crazy gaga over this. Don't know really what to make of it now. Catchy tune, strange construction of the song, and a clever title.

Leaving 4AD records for the States they produced a very accessible album Start /Stop, which is pretty good.

Enjoy reading your replies, thanks. Any views on Comsat Angels or Waterboys?

I'm not too hot on actors careers apart from flagging up some noteworthy appearances. So, Gareth Thomas, of course Children Of The Stones and Hammer House of Horror episode " Visitor From The Grave". But must mention two stand out Thomas performances, both on youtube. SUTHERLANDS LAW- BBC...

Their biggest hit in the UK was this classic.

Stateside they perhaps had more success than at home.

This is a group that deserved stardom NO!! MEGA STARDOM, so many great tracks, so little reward.

With David Essex . Hilarious

Very funny guy, sadly taken from us at a young age. His early Thames TV stuff I think was the best. Mr Angry, Sid Snot, Marcel, who can forget them?

Savage Earth Heart from the first album. This live version on The Tube makes a great track even better, a powerful sound from Mike Scott's " Big Music" period.

From the Spiritchaser album this is Inca/Aztec inspired , haunting and beautiful.

What an incredible vocal performance by Lisa Gerrard on this track.

The Carnival Is Over.

Another 4AD label band, this one of extraordinary talent and scope of music. Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry have created some weird and also beautiful tracks. I'll let the music do the talking.

A band from the 4AD record label stable, which promotes innovative"Indy " bands. Robbie Grey's Modern English still going and had a recent release with the original members re-united which was pretty good. The previous album "Soundtrack" was remarkably good too, and that came after a long...

Yes, great choices. What an extraordinary voice she had, love to see them back in the groove. I just had a feeling listening to their final album, " Milk and Kisses", that it was over, it weren't great. Head Over Heels was my favourite, and Treasure. She also did some singing on 4AD release This...

This was an extraordinary band. A bit of a niche following, the very definition of an "Indy " band. Tons and tons of critical acclaim but no real hits. An incredible vocalist in Elizabeth Fraser, a voice sent by heaven, a lilting melodious sound that cascades over the listener. What she's...

Yes siree! Bodie, Doyle, Mr Hudson...er sorry Mr Cowley. Been watching this a lot lately and it's brilliant. Often criticized but the stories were terrifically entertaining and well written, not surprising given Brian Clemens involvement. Timeless piece of tv history.
