> Does anyone have any info on the M/A/R/R/S / cocteau twins (parts of each) > collaboration called Sufi? details? is it any good? Well, it's been ages since I listened to it, but they released a self-titled album about 2 years ago which I recall enjoying quite a bit. Here's what I wrote about it at the time for my column in Chart magazine: "Moving on to something a little more soulful, the latest release in Virgin's Ambient series is something quite different from the previous installments: Sufi is a collaboration between Rudy Tambala, songwriter with M.A.R.R.S. (remember "Pump Up The Volume"?), his sister Margaret, and former Cocteau Twins drummer Benny di Massa. The resulting sound is a sort of ethereal/ambient trip-hop, like a cross between the Cocteaus, Eno and Portishead." Don't know if they've released anything since, though. Greg
