Oh that's cruel fred. I saw them play on their 'breakthrough' tour at the Leadmill. I enjoyed them rather, it was only spoiled by having to stand next to Caitlin Moran. She was writing their first piece for NME, they had a double page centre spread the next week!

I'm going to risk being kicked off this site forever, banished to the wasteland...

I like Daydreamer better than Common People!

I'm so sorry.

I shan't sleep tonight now fred. Wonder how much my 'super collectable' copy of I'll Manage Somehow is worth. Bought on the first day of release!

If Jarvis did a collaboration with Johnny Dean I think I'd cream my pants!

I've just wiki'd them. They did a second album that only got released in Japan! I'm so excited!

I did have to look up the name of the lead singer, so I'm not a true fan.

Although I stand by the fact that Daydreamer kicks serious arse.

You're so blind you flounder drow-ning! Breathe deepER! (duh duh duh duh duh!) DaydreamER!

aha not yet, I'm a bit strapped for cash so I bought the Inspiral Carpets ('life') instead which I'm really enjoying! Magnetic Fields are next on the agenda though

Don't worry, just curious about what you thought. Do you like the IC album? Anyone else bought any albums off the back of this thread?

She Comes in the Fall, a big track from my schooldays. I remember drawing the 'Cool as Fuck' Inspirals cow over and over again on my schoolbooks.

I wrote most of the wiki entry on Menswear. Not a great boast, I was just on there in about 2004, looking for bands that hadn't been written about yet.
They weren't a great band, but they seem to have caught the worst of the britpop backlash. Stardust (along with a few others) is just a great pop song.
The second album is really for completists only. It's straight up, irony-free country rock, and only two or three tracks are any good.

I really like the bonus track on Nuisance.

I've just found a recording of a concert of theirs I made from Radio 1 dated 17-4-95. On the flip is a concert by Gene. I truly loved Gene.

Only heard bits and pieces, but "I don't want to get over you" is pretty great.

To avoid being overwhelmed I would recommend concentrating on disc one initially.
