Bungalow with Stairs was also the name of a design company run by Rick in the mid-90's (I'll dig up the details and post them later), so maybe Rick is doing the mixing on this show.

Here we go. This is from Tomato ROM 3.

"Bungalow with Stairs" is an "all-media" company founded and produced by Rick Smith of tomato/underworld to enable "difficult things" to be placed in the world.

karl i will never understand your glaring affinity for U2

[jose m]

its an age thing and growing up in the uk around the post punk period.u2 were once fresh,exciting,mentioned in the same breath with echo & the bunnymen,joy divison,teardrop explodes,comsat angels,the cure,the banshees.you could see these bands on small stages,in the back of pubs,at your uni.it was before things splintered off into tribal groupings of bands under banners like goth,indie,industrial etc etc,fantastic times.
u2 gigs rocked,they were passionate and they often sounded or played better than the other bands.up to and including "joshua tree" they were ace imo.
its easy to look at u2 thru different eyes and see something very different and i'd never argue with anyone about why they don't like them but i think that for karl, and certainly myself, what they did back in the day will always be enough to keep the fan alive.

Spot on. I agree that U2 were the dog's danglies right up to Joshua Tree - after that they became too commercialised for my taste, as so many bands do after years of success in the biz.

I still stick Boy, War and Joshua Tree on from time to time. They are still as good as they ever were.

I agree with jose m too.

U2 at the beginning had a sort-of innocent passion. One review I recall around the time of "October" described them as "peter pan-ish".

Good to see the comsat angels name-checked in jose m's post - their track "Independance Day" is simply spine tingling, with a fabulous, other-wordly guitar sound
