Part of the beauty of CVs career is that they went all over the spectrum. I don't know about calling their stuff "dodgy", but if you mean it's hard to pinpoint their overall sound by listening to one release then yes. It took me awhile to appreciate their pre-"Crackdown" material, but it finally grew on me. My last purchase from CV was the brilliant "1974-1976" compilation. The track "Do The Snake" took me by suprise when I heard it for the first time -- "...come on everybody and do the snake....." -- odd. That song would be the perfect soundtrack for a scene out of a David Lynch movie... | E r i c | [mail] franse@engr.arizona.edu | | F r a n s | [web] http://intermix.engr.arizona.edu/~franse | "Make the events occur that you want to occur" - The Black Dog
