...if you get a hankering for something completely (well, not
completely...you do find synth songs on occasion) different but
brilliant indeed, try the new Magnetic Fields' box set "69 Love Songs".
This is Merritt's best work (imo) since the now hard to find "Holiday"
(a low-fi synthpop MASTERPIECE which is essential). Great lyrics. The
3xcd box comes with a blow by blow interview in which you get some grasp
of the breadth of Stephin's wit and scope of his muscial background.
Excellent stuff. If you know The Wasps, Magnetic Fields or even Future
Bible Heroes (which is actually Chris Ewen's [occasional
songmeister/keys with Merrit] band with Merrit on vox) you know what to
expect...but expect more from this.
