So why don't LOVE & ROCKETS have their own thread?

Awesome revive. I actually just pulled out the Seventh Dream reissue a couple days ago, listening to it again now and goddamn if this isn't one of the most perfect albums I've heard in my life.

"Haunted When the Minutes Drag" is my jam.

Yes!!! Haunted is my jam, too! Definitely my fave song of theirs. I still have Seventh Dream on vinyl and do pull it out every once in awhile.

That's what I'm talkin'bout.

i've listened to that album a thousand times and i could never get sick of it. just so perfect.

I think they were pretty grand up through Hot Trip to Heaven, which was still pretty damn good... and I won't even comment on the last two albums, I haven't heard them yet.

Oh hey tribute album:

The AFI spinoff thing covering "No New Tale to Tell" is better than I expected, though.

(And Shepard Fairey cover art = nice.)

Actually the more I'm listening to the randomized stream the more I'm surprised, so far this has been pretty good to great! No real major reworkings per se but at the least enjoyable takes on the originals. Then again I haven't hit the Better Than Ezra track yet...

David, why?

Oh hi Love and Rockets box set out of nowhere

http://archive.beggars.com/releases/206/love-and-rockets-5-albums

Annnnd I took a little time here to talk about Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven.

http://thequietus.com/articles/18758-love-and-rockets-seventh-dream-of-teenage-heaven-review

Very nice piece Ned - enjoyed it!

Listening to it for the first time in over 25 years because of that well-written piece, Ned. Thanks for reminding me of it! It's a better album than I remember it being.

The drum sounds are still abysmal, though.

He came much more into his own with Express, I think you can pretty audibly tell the band was starting to think of themselves as a band rather than a tentative project. J posted the other day that his own favorite L&R album remains Earth * Sun * Moon, which is definitely the most straight up 'musicians in a room' effort. Anyway, thanks all!

this is great Ned! i have just listened to most of their debut album because i'm getting ready to poll Love and Rockets and Bauhaus here real soon. i think i will need the votes so i should email everyone on this thread. i will wait to talk about recent stuff when it is open.

Reminder: Bauhaus/Love and Rockets-Tones on Tail poll is going to open up very, very soon (this month or Oct 2015). wish i could get Ned to vote.

I'll submit one ballot for myself, then one for Ned by proxy.

The new tour is on.

Still pondering it.

Recorded: classic. A step beyond Bauhaus.

Live: dud. Dreadfully dull. That said, I'll definitely go see them again.
