breath when anyone from my bloody valentines is concerned!

I've just been listening to 'Among My Swan' which always seems to be ignored by the, ahem, cognoscenti, but I think is on a par with the rest of the 'Star's oeuvre.

that was the album that got me into them. Some achingly beautiful tracks on there.

Rhymes Of An Hour
Take Everything
All Your Sisters
Look On Down From The Bridge

and on the other hand, some tracks that give Jesus & Mary Chain a run for their money

Happy
Still Cold
Roseblood

definitely worth a listen if nothing else

Lovely album, I enjoy it as much as Mazzy Star. Hope Sandoval is always worth hearing.

Now, any news on that Elizabeth Fraser solo album??

is actually one of my "most Played" in itunes, but I couldn't be bothered answering D. Hepworth's enquiry on this issue. Cool seems to be a male attribute in rawk, but she is cool though isn't she?

is slowly crawling up the itunes chart. Being used in an ad, I think

Great clips. Hopefully they come good on the promise of live UK dates. Love Hope but never seen Mazzy or the Warm Inventions live. Can't wait. What a voice. She Hangs Brightly and Among My Swan are both brilliant, while So Tonight That I Might See has its moments, notably Fade Into You.

if people like Mazzy Star / Hope Sandoval, I can strongly recommend the third Dot Allison album "Exaltation Of Larks", which, particularly in the track "Hallelujah" bears a striking resemblance to the more ethereal moments of Mazzy Star.

try "Thief Of Me" off the same album
