Re: Ranking of uw albums
This is going to be difficult but I guess it's going to be based on memory and play count, so here goes:
BF - the album whose release got me into u/w, plus Jumbo has to be my all time fave.
STITI - when I bought it, my mum was seriously ill in hospital (she recovered) and hearing Pearl's Girl for the first time was a huge emotional release!
AHDO - equal 2nd with STITI - released in the autumn and it has an autumnal feel about it - dark, downbeat tracks, with Mo Move and Lutein another 2 of my absolute favs. ("he smoked his smokey lungs")
Barking - perhaps the most instantly accessable cd, almost pop.
OWB - disappointing in the sense that they had abandoned their long, linear style. Faxed Invitation is fabulous but way too short - however, that's Rick and Karl's perogative - you can't expect them to produce tracks like Thing in a Book forever.
