I'm not accustomed to doing music reviews, though, so this is blunt. Also I didn't listen to the whole album because it was wholly unlistenable. The only other thing I have by them is Lament, and so I bought U-Vox expecting something at least mildly similar, and of course I was wrong. The songs were standard crap, indeed, CaseyCasum Scoobidoo playable. Fortunately the man who sold it to me was glad to take it back, and I had the good fortune to buy Filigree & Shadow (T.M.C.) which is infinitely more enjoyable. By the way, I recall someone complaining about their recording of T.H.'s "Drugs", but I don't remember the specific complaint: I found this track to be not only at least as wonderful as most of the other songs on the album but (some other superlative here) as well. I especially enjoyed "The Jeweler"; does anyone have the original recording of this? Where is it to be found? One more tag-on: I remember reading the phrase, "shuffle off this mortal coil" in one of Shakespeare's plays, but I can't remember which one. Anyone know? | -Jeremy (no, not \|eremy) "He worships God with ashes"
