What I most appreciate about this band is its stylistic diversity. Except for "Cry By Cry," my favorites are not the synthpop show tunes, but the more off-kilter ones: "John's Lost," "Open Up," "These Days," "Chameleon Waves."

I divided the files into two downloads:

2 X 2 Plus Extras
Download Link: http://netkups.com/?d=614151d1751ed
=================
01 Cry Boy Cry
02 John's Lost
03 Far Cry
04 You Can Count On Me
05 Love Moves In Strange Ways
06 Forgive And Forget
07 I’m Your Man
08 Open Up
09 Can’t Hold Me Down
10 Something Familiar
11 Loved One’s An Angel (12 inch)
12 Shine (12 inch bside)
13 Fate (12 inch bside)
14 Don’t Walk Away (12 inch bside)
15 Somewhere In The World There's A Cowboy Smiling (12 inch)
16 Chameleon Waves (7 inch bside)
17 These Days (12 inch bside)
18 Off To Market (Dub) (12 inch bside)


Even More Extras
Download Link: http://netkups.com/?d=612e5193142d5
================
01 Cry Boy Cry (12 inch)
02 Don’t Walk Away (Live Studio Ver.)
03 Forgive And Forget (12 inch)
04 Forgive And Forget (7 inch)
05 I’m Your Man (12 inch)
06 Love Moves In Strange Ways (7 in.)
07 Loved One’s An Angel (7 inch)
08 Somewhere In The World There's A Cowboy Smiling (Instr.)

You can read about the band on the following sites:

http://funderglass.blogspot.com/2008/09 ... y-two.html
http://www.fade2grey.com/it-should-have ... lue-zoo-3/

The track listing and other album and single info is here:

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Blue+Zoo

p.s. Somewhere in the world there is a cowboy who is NOT smiling. My copy of this 12" has a flaw, so the beginning of this song sounds wonky. If anybody has a good flac rip of this song, please post. Otherwise, I might eventually buy another copy.



thanks

Fade2Grey Blog is excellent for obscure stuff, spotted an unreleased album by 2wo Third3, didn't even know an album existed, they released 4 cracking singles in the 90s, this would be a fantastic album for someone like Cherry or Rhino to release as a "Deluxe Edition". :D

For anyone who wants it, I just ripped the album version of "Love Moves in Strange Ways" in lossless quality since it was omitted from the CD for some reason: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code ... zHdB4chP1y
Feel free to distribute my vinyl rips or use them as part of your compilations!
