<br>The Bible released 4 CD's (I think that's all??) and I think they are all charming and well worth hunting down. Even the solo works by lead vocalist Boo Hewerdine are excellent. His CD's are failry easy to come by. While they were best know for their Eureka release, the other 3 are excellent, and all four can still be purchased. Don't mean to push CD Universe, but man, thet things they carry......including all 4 Bible CD's. Here's a link. If nothing else, be amazed at the breadth and depth, and pricing, they have. I shop NOWHERE on line until I check them. Their prices are usually much lower than elsewhere. Not always, but my experience is that they are. And they have excellent customer service and people you can actually call and talk to. Imagine that for an on-line store - a massive massive one at that.

I also have the albums "Eureka" ("Crystal Palace" is my fave track) and "Walking the Ghost Back Home" (Love the song "Graceland").

Since hearing Graceland for the first time in 88 or 89, I'm still baffled by how such a perfect pop song could be so overlooked. And when I hear it played on radio or when I play it for other people to hear, it just doesn't strike them. How come?

LOL, Dar! I know exactly what you mean. I think you can include Blue Zoo's "Love moves in Strange Ways" in that category.[V]

I agree, and of course there are lots more. Hmmmp! I guess we appreciate these songs because we are over and above the rest of the human race.[:D]
