Great set, I watched it all - excellent. The Cure have done some great stuff - fav albs by them are Disintegration and Bloodflowers
Either them or Joy Division are my favourite band.

I wish Joy Division had done more songs in collaboration with The Pet Shop Boys (i.e. Electronic) as I think the songs were bloody superb!!!

Disagree. That would have destroyed the angst vibe. Imo, Joy Division was all about atmosphere and low-fi raw emotion. Pet Shop Boys are great but, as you say, more up beat Electronica.
I remember when this came out and a review I read criticised the cover for making her look like she was dead. Never got to hear what the music was like.

I think you and Loz are pretty much neck and neck when it comes to albums no one's ever heard of. Until now :eek: You describe it as ambient, I assume you mean traffic noise and the sound of JCB diggers?

Not a bad album at all but stylistically it's very 1980s. She's an MBE now you know.
