Yeah, he doesn't seem like someone who should be *doing* interviews from that end? Like, having a conversation he'd probably be hilarious, but him trying to interview someone seems like it would be disastrous.
Listening to You've Got The Power and it's actually quite a strange song, like it sounds like it should be political, but I can't actually work out what the political angle is...
"you've got the power - to generate fear / you've got the power - to censor what is real"
Erm, who exactly has these powers? And they don't seem like these are good powers to be using? It's weird because the beer advert actually elides the second half of the couplets, and combined with the video, which seems kinda 'smash the system, man!' but the actual lyrics - to me, at least, read like an indictment of the system? Maybe? I've no idea TBH.
(Also makes me wonder - if this song was so widely known in Scotland, was The Shamen's Synergy a wink, a nod, an answer record, changing it from "you got the power - to generate fear" to "we got the power - you and me, you and me / we are together in ecstacy" - I don't know if this is political either, but "we got the power - you and me" is to me a more powerful statement than "you got the power to generate fear / censor")

Haha, I'm also not surprised that ILM posters have no interest in or experience of female sexual pleasure, let alone critical consideration of lyrical depictions thereof.

Well, I do!
Anyway, after all this time, I'm sold! I guess one is on Spotify but the other is not. (I looked about a month ago)
Most of the 'why is this not on cd' albums have now been. Actually, a whole lot are now out of print and expensive.
So, we can hope. If sSs' "Flaunt It" can get a 4cd appraisal, and Black Box Recorder can have a lovely box set, Surely......

they don't? i think you'll find some most certainly do!
I'd say that at that point in time the Win song was universally known in Scotland so you could well be right about The Shamen's Synergy being an answer record, which I had never considered previously. Good call!

Hahaha, ok guilty as charged. I really do enjoy the energy & the fresh perspectives you bring to these otherwise tired out threads so I am sorry for being obtuse.

three years pass...
If anyone is looking to buy "tears baby" on cd and doesn't want to join a club, might want to check the "last night from Glasgow" website
