Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

[quote="Fatalist"

Perennially disappointing band, despite the continued hype. Early live shows were fantastic, but the albums have never lived up to that initial promise (though first few singles are worth hearing). Classic example of a band whose continued presence on the music scene (and in critics' affections) seems to be based almost entirely on how good they could be, as opposed to how good they actually are...[/quote]

I have a friend who swears by them, but he did once tell me of a gig they did which began with a projection of the complete opening scene of 'A Matter Of Life And Death', with the band striking their first chord as David Niven's plane crash-landed. Sounds like I might need to see them live to fall in love with them. Their records seem pleasant enough, but not particularly exciting.
