Who would have guessed, back in 1986 (or whenever) that Britian would eventually be taken over by Polish Jesus freaks and we would all be hanging out with them?
I think I have just made a C86/UKIP connection.

Hell no, are you kidding?
You can ask a lot out of life, and you can be wayward, but to think anything could compare to "Penelope Tree" is just asking too much.

i shouldn't post on felt threads. i have no critical distance and i get all defensive and weird. i act like everyone who doesn't love lawrence as much as i do is a troll and i must kill them. and that ain't right!

so after a longgg time of sorta wondering about felt i bought "absolute classic masterpieces" today and it's really rad! i like the earlier songs better than the "primitive painters"-type stuff i think; the high 80's production on some of that is a little much for me. maybe i'll come around. but man, good guitar jams on a bunch of this.
also scott is such a total bro.

I have a doublecd of "Ignite the Seven Cannons" and "Strange Idol's Patterns", which is rather nifty and I like a lot of the tracks on it. "Primitive Painters" is above and away the song of theirs I love the most though. And it isn't just the Liz Fraser vocal, its the lushness of the arrangements, such a joyous, full, textured song.

A few posts up I notice Zachary has confused Martin Duffy & Martin Denny. I'm sure the former would be flattered. 'Ballad of the Band' = best single Creation ever released, if not, indeed the best song.

I assume you know the relevance of that thread to this one is nearly nil, RJG.

I'm well aware you don't like me RJG. You make that clear with an insult or two every time I come across you here. It gets old. So you don't like me? Fine. Not everyone has to like everybody else, you know? Go your own way then and quit this same routine. You seem to be upset with me because of fights I had with people I mended fences with eons ago, and frankly I think *that's* stupid. You even got upset when I made a comment to my friend grimly fiendish thinking it was rude, but actually it was an inside joke between him and I and he knew perfectly well what I meant. These things didn't even involve you, man. Get over it.

They're flawed but I find them always a pleasant listen. The early singles are GREAT listenable pop, the albums might be difficult for an initiate.

I listen to "Forever Breathes the Lonely Word" and "Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty" a LOT.
The organ parts on FBTLW are so killer, totally makes the album for me.
And lately I get a little misty about Bimble when I hear "All the People I like Are Those That are Dead".

Read "Song Man" by Will Hodgkinson for very depressing Lawrence stories.

I prefer the two "Absolute Classic Masterpieces" compilations myself. And then went and gathered up the remaining singles tracks for a bit more. "Primitive Painters" still rocks my world but overall I've grown to love all the singles.

Dud. So I decided at the time, and do still now. There's a difference between understatement and plain weakness.

Classic beyond any reasonable definition of the word, and that goes for pretty much every stage of their career. Current obsession (in misty autumnal UK) is with The Stagnant Pool, especially once it settles into its effortless, spectral second half. SO GOOD.

It's really strange watching that interview. I've been a massive fan of his since buying Denim On Ice when it came out but I've never heard him speak before and in a lot of the pictures I've seen he's looked very different.
I would say Strange Idol Patterns is their masterpiece followed by Forever Breathes the Lonely Word. A lot of their best tracks are spread out on one off singles or B-sides that's why the compilations are so essential too.
