I have just been listening to their album "Bringing Home the Ashes" and I really love all the songs starting from "Young Manhood" all the way to the last track "The Worst Year of my Life". This is one of the best bands (including The Care) that I really love and makes me wonder "Where have they gone?"...tsk tsk tsk.

I also have the "Space Flower" album which is pretty good but nevertheless would never outdo the above. I like "Tangerine Temple" and "Butteryfly Girl" the most.

Related Bands Teardrop Explodes, Icicle Works, & Lightning Seeds would only come next, that's for me.

Any other devotees out there?

All of the bands mentioned are on my list of favorites, perhaps especially for me Icicle Works, going all the way back to their first primitive cassette release, their early releases on Troll Kitchen Records, their LP's and tons of b-sides, and Ian's solo

More accolades for the new Wild Swans 2CD, Incandescent, a fantastic collection with their HTF classic debut single, "The Revolutionary Spirit". It was released September 2003 on Renascent, the label that gave us all those amazing rereleases from the Sou
