Dunno, doesn't sound _too_ farfetched to me: have you ever heard the tracks on the first Love & Rockets album (_Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven_) and the stuff they did under the name Tones on Tail? I have no problem believing that the band that did "Saudade", "Real Life" and "Twist" would be able to do credible ambience. (oh god, my postpunk roots are showing...) :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- dave walker, detroit art services _ marmoset@msen.com play sim freeke <A HREF="http://www.msen.com/~marmoset/">Dave Walker</A>
