Will see to it that I'll make it up to you, eight. I hope the "Into the Fire" LP arrives soon so that I can make a final decision on the Blacklands LP.
Thx.

That won't help...they are quite different in style.

<br>Just got reply that 'Blacklands' is no longer on offer. Damn! I guessed that the deal wouldn't work. It would have been too smooth.
Can anybody tell me if the tracks on it are nearly as good as Remember the sun? Look around you didn't really convince me. And what about "human factor"? I liked the Joy Division feel of `Remember...´ and now I'm not so sure...
Cheers,

As Eight6 says, both LPs are completely different, style-wise.

While Into The Rain is more poppy and commercially viable, Blacklands is a very bleak album. With tracks titled "Whiplash Caress" and "Grey Parade", the listener is not in for an easy ride. Imagine Joy Division on a miserable day and you're on the way there.

I can do MP3s from Blacklands should anyone want it.

Music for Pleasure was a very underappreciated group. Their second lp "Blacklands" is great. Here is one of the songs:

Remember The Sun - Music for Pleasure

Somehow I missed this one. Can you re-post it or drop me an e-mail? [:)]

If you could encode the tracks as mp3 and send them to me, that would be great. Joy Division on one of their bad days...mh, sounds like it's time to get out the razorblades and have a last look at my wrists.[;)] BTW, I like Unkown Pleasures more than Closer.
Can't wait for those tracks from Blacklands.
Thanks a lot.
