Fantastic stuff, cheers Dave - no cassette player these days though! Perhaps someone on here could offer a cassette to CD transfer to bridge the gap? I'd love the hear the full versions.
I really like the Ludus stuff, like many of the post-punk groups involving women they had a wonderful ability to push the boundaries of music in directions that their male counterparts would rarely have gone (sorry if that sounds a bit of a sweeping generalisation) - groups like Kleenex/Liliput, The Slits, Ludus, etc never seemed to be constrained by notions of what was possible in a song.
The LTM CDs are very elegant, I don't know how closely the artwork matches the originals.

Bugger, I didn't realise that Electrelane were late and lamented now, what a shame.

They were indeed, and they performed the only decent Bruce Springsteen cover I know (I'm On Fire).
Kind of like Stereolab with a bit more attitude and better amps.

Indeed. The mighty Electrelane went on 'indefinite hiatus' after a farewell gig at the end of 2007. However, rumour on the Brighton band grapevine has it they've been talking about maybe getting together again soon, so watch this space...

I remember hearing Ever Present Past on the radio, not knowing who it was by and thinking it sounded like XTC!

Gotta say i've really come around to this having played it four times over the last couple of days, it's just getting better and better. Just about every song on it's got a hook or two to enjoy and i love the lyrics and the subtle referencing of past material ( which i didn't really pick up on the first couple of plays ). Hillage's small but perfectly formed solos just leave me wanting more, Miquette's ebbing / flowing synth wash is just how it should be and i'm really getting into Theo Travis' sax playing, more muscular and less playful than Didier perhaps but still ticking my boxes. Only problem i've got with it now is that i seem to be flogging it to death !
Was thinking how similar Julian's trip is to Daevid's too, not that he'd necessarily agree, mind. Both of them have got that shamanistic thing going on, only with Daevid comin' from an imaginary planet in outer space ( or is it, hehe ) and with Julian's more macho trip comin' from somewhere deep underground !
