well, i love em all, but I think the sound you're looking for comes more from the very first full length, Semtex (not to be confused with the Semtex single, although that is probably TEF's finest moment)... much more mbvish (overloaded guitars) with the occasional dnb beat, but more tracks than not feature gentle toms or no drums at all... also might look into the In Version record, since that's remixes/redos of songs by amp, crescent, fsa, and other Bristolians who developed their own lo-fi version of the MBV aesthetic... to be honest, I would say that ghost is pretty singular in its gritty fuckedupness in the TEF catalog... nothing else is quite that far in there in quite that way, so you might want to check out you guys kill me too. ===== the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
