What struck me immediately was how close in spirit the music is to Mike's 70s works. Especially "Floating World" from 1974, with its mix of ethnic chants and heavy guitar riffing. Good stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iePV2WXMsq8 As you all probably know, Jon Field from JW plays on some of Mike's records. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Way of the Sun was by far their best, in my opinion. But I eventually lost interest in them. Back to top

I'm not one for just listening through youtube - I think I'm going to buy one of their CDs to start with, and The Floating World seems the one to get. I have had a quick browse on youtube, and from what I hear they sound quite similar to Brian Eno (the guitar especially) and only passingly like Mike. Looking forward to delving deeper! Back to top
