From looking around at pictures, I believe I had Immigrant, but don't think I ever had Promise. I think it would be fun to hear their earliest material. I might just spring for this after all.

I heard a single the other day by Gene Loves Jezebel, I could have sworn it was like a track off a Black Sabbath album. I mean there was nothing different from it, I mean it's really good actually, it's called "Shame". But if you went back in a time machine ten years ago and played it to somebody, a Black Sabbath fan would really get into it.

"SHOO-SHUH!"
Listened to Discover yesterday and all turned a blissful 1986 all over again. Why must music suck such a big bag of bean-paste slathered cocks today?

man I tried to like these guys way back when, I really did -pretty sure I even saw 'em play at some point. my then-girlfriend thought they were OK early on ('84 I think), which was weird, because we were pretty much mirror images of each other - if I liked it, she liked it, vice-versa, conjoined-twins kinda schtick we had goin. By the time "Heartache" was all over KROQ though - I dunno it sounded kinda like soft-goth Asia/09125 Yes to me.

You should, they're great.
Don't think I've muttered it in full on this thread but "Bread from Heaven" still works as a snarling anti-Thatcher blast (specifically regarding policy towards Wales) sublimated into this moody crawl of far-in-the-distance drums, ghostly echoes of feedback and vocal keening. Too oblique for its own good maybe -- I didn't realize what the song was about until I stumbled across an explanation for it in an interview by one of the brothers -- but one of the better overtly politicized songs of the time that works still.
