Has no one heard of them (which I doubt), or does no one other >than me like them? This album got a lot of press on rec.music.misc. I read a stunning review of it in Melody Maker and based on that review, plus the fact that the album was produced by Thomas Dolby, I knew it HAD to be mine. I was not disappointed. >_Jordan: The Comeback_ is a welcome surprise from Prefab Sprout. The band has >a sound similar to the Dream Academy. This is their fourth album. The first >one, _Swoon_, has a sound which is indescribable. It is nothing like their >later albums. I really don't like _Swoon_ at all. And I don't think _Jordan_ sounds like Dream Academy, either. >Looking For Atlantis (The first single, and a poor choice, IMHO) You're crazy! This song is WONDERFUL. When I first put in the disc and heard this, I knew the money was NOT wasted. >"One of the Broken" >(Paddy (?) sounds great saying the first line 'Hi, this is God here.') Yeah, that's Paddy. >The album is much better than there last >attempt. It really is a comeback. No argument there. Everyone should buy it. Maybe Tower Records still has it as their No Risk Disc? -- +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
