So mad, I was going to make the Momus joke.

Well if it's any consolation, you were only beaten to the punchline by 29 months.

Spoils of War >>>>>>> Mormos. but Mormos aren't bad. sort of like a lesser Incredible String Band infused with the sensibility of the Holy Modal Rounders. i'm partial to everything James Cuomo touched, even that weird ejazz CD.

one of Mormos' vocalists - i want to say her name was Annie Hat, or something? - had the witchiest voice ever. almost unbearable. James' voice and delivery are cool but way hippie.
Mother's Wrath >>> Wall, btw.

Ah, okay - thanks!

i never got mormos. just tedious shit. or so i thought the last time i tried them.

there's some quality there. and, yes, quite a bit of tedious shit. but might be worth another try.

I also never got Mormos. Seemed really weak, kind of half-assed and not particularly memorable.

i've never heard mormos, but this description makes them sound like the greatest band ever!

Except the lyrics are bland/unfunny, the arrangements are lackluster and the pricetag on the orig LPs is absurd.

one year passes...

the first exuma album. i mean, not really, but crazy guy with an acoustic guitar howling in a weird voice. "mama loi, papa loi"!

ten years pass...

I recently got an old CD of Emtidi's 1972 album Saat, and track #4 "Love Time Rain" really really sounds like Comus!
