I don't quite have your music-selling skills, however, Nick (the sentence from the 'This New Day' review about widescreen guitar explosions = I WANT RECORD), so I'll let the band do the talking.
This is a fucking religious experience.

You can also get their albums cheaply from their own website.

Sing to God is my least favourite Cardiacs album (tho I'm not sure this is the right thread to announce this).

I just dug out my copy of Houdini because I've been listening to a lot of AR Kane lately and was reminded of LFK. I'm glad others noted the connection, I think for it's the vocals that made the association most immediately. The most amusing part of this is that when I originally picked up the Buttergut EP when it was originally released, I loved the music but found the vocals to be a complete turn-off. Now, the vocals and lyrics are one of the most compelling parts of the record for me. Who says people don't change?
Regardless, this is a completely classic album and it's a shame that it's so thoroughly out of print and unavailable. I never picked up the follow-up albums but just scored them from emusic.
How are Sutherland's novels?

If someone were to ask me right now, I'd name LFK as my favourite band, I think.

Please to be telling me if there are any other records out there that do what Amelia does?
― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 08:28 (sixteen years ago) link
PLEASE.
Also did Jamie Watson ever produce / engineer / record anyone else?

Join me in my LFK love, please...

and we go full-circle, for this is the thread on which I first alerted NS to cardiacs!
need to get hold of 'amelia' and 'valentino'. amazon it is.

Amelia might be their best.
― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I saw them open for Medicine, way back when...took a first date, she spent the whole set with her hands over her ears...there was no second date!
liked them lots..."medieval hip hop", the Wire wag said...

LFK, Laika, Pram, Moonshake, PJ Harvey, Stereolab...Too Pure was on a roll in those days, eh?
― henry s, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Hell yeah. And even some of the obscurer stuff still works -- Minxus, for instance. Great album.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
not to mention Seefeel, Mouse On Mars, Th' Faith Healers, Jack, Electrane...such a range...affordable as imports, too...

ElectraLAne...but you knew that...

minxus were great, they got tagged as the poor man's pj harvey though. pity. minxus albums can be found in every bargain bin. when will luke stop making boring music with germans and make another bows album? will he ever?

Ooh, two new (to me, anyway) LFK singles arrived today in the mail - I only ordered them yesterday.

And it's Electrelane, kids.

BUT NOT ANYMORE BOOHOO
wut, no love for teh Voodoo Queens?
where did it all go pear-shaped with Too Pure? Hefner? Billy Mahonie? Murray the Hump? earlier, even? Seely? the execrable Jack?
― Mr. Hal Jam, Thursday, 20 December 2007 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link
hefner great through the first album. jack first album great. i think when seely came it was the end. now supposedly they are good again but they aren't really. the bands all seem so small and tinny in comparison.

Long Kill Fillie.
― jim, Saturday, 22 December 2007 02:40 (sixteen years ago) link
The first seely record was passable, but I agree that that was the beginning of the end of the unimpeachable excellence that was Too Pure circa 1992-95. I still listen to a good many of those records and many of them hold up well so I don't think it's just nostalgia.
As far as their current roster: with the end of Electrelane, I'm just not very interested. Tracey and the Plastics is just dire.

Bump.

Missed the RM posts from a while back. Think everyone has various projects/family stuff going on, but hopefully there's more to come.
That Long Player with Jer sounds great - wish I'd caught it.
