>AGREED! Had the opportunity to see Labradford perform most of this album on >Thursday nite. They seriously rank up there with giants like Eno, Michael >Brook, and The Durutti Column.

Godspeed is a great band, but I always found >Labradford to be the giants of this genre. Perhaps I'm just getting old. i was bored to death by Labradford when they came to toronto earlier this week. sure it was the first time i heard them, but the music didn't seem to go anywhere. the clickyness might've nice, but that's just cuz it was over top of the boring drones, and in that case anything would've sounded nice. maybe it's bedroom music. anyhow, i was there for Godspeed and they blew me away. tomas
