I don't think it broke them up, just lead to Martin doing it then, rather than after.

In the highly unlikely event one of the four or five people who write on this thread is on ILX right now and reading this, please answer this question (if you can):
In 'Naomi' (off the Every Heaven EP from 91) is the repeated lyric in the blizzard of noise towards the end "Am I still dreaming again?" or "I must be dreaming again"?

i just dung out the EP and played it on my old stereo system, sounded so nice. i believe Sice is singing "I Must Be Dreaming" with dreaming being stretched out. will see what other's think he is saying.

two years pass...

Currently the little clarinet solo in "Best Lose The Fear" is my favourite few seconds of music

six months pass...

I've been thinking to myself that I'd like to get some of my favourite Boo Sides cut to a one-off vinyl. But which ones, and in which order?

Started making a longlist and given the quality of their non-album work, it's hard to pare down to just two sides.

I've decided to forego most of the early shoegaze era, not because I don't like it (I do very much), but because I have most of the early EPs and a lot of that material appeared on Learning To Walk (pleeeease someone re-release this!)

Ideally, I'd do some nice editing so the tracks kind of flow together nicely as a suite, a bit like on Giant Steps.

This is what I have so far. Not sure which of these darlings I'd kill

...And Tomorrow The World
Blues For George Michael
Friendship Song
Sunfly II: Walking With The Kings
I Will Always Ask You Where You've Been Even Though I Know The Answer
Let Me Be Your Faith
From The Bench At Belvedere
Annie & Marnie
Nothing To Do But Scare Myself
Spanish Lizards
Wallpaper
Superintendent
Tomorrow
Put Your Arms Around Me And Tell Me Everything's Going To Be Okay
Almost Nearly There
In A Galaxy Far Far Away

Might have to drop either "I Will Always Ask You" or "Nothing To Do But Scare Myself" as they pull similar tricks.

"In A Galaxy" is a nice final track and I would have preferred it as a closer to Kingsize. But maybe there are too many "final-sounding" tracks here. Is "Put Your Arms" too similar to "Almost Nearly There"? But which is best?; they're both great!
