Vee Vee - Archers of Loaf

Samples

This album seemed a little hit or miss to me. Just OK.

That's my least favorite AOL album, but some critics consider it one of their best - go figure

Sleeping Giants - Bluprint

Samples

Thanks for the suggestion. 

As far as I can tell those guys made one great album and called it a day.

"This Is the Sea" is my favorite Waterboys album. "The Whole of the Moon" from that album is one of my favorite songs. The late Adrian Borland from "The Sound" said in an interview that it was his favorite song of all-time.

Allmusic.com:

"Imagine rude snatches of Sleep No More Comsat Angels, Joy Division,
early New Order, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, and Second Layer, and you
barely hypothesize the textural clash of harrowing sounds in the sinister
"The Purgatory Salesman" or the ashen post-breakup bitterness of
"Amnesia." Collectively, it's like being cornered by Dracula, a subconscious,
blackened, criminal seduction. But like the early Comsats, it's so darkly
fascinating, you yield your neck to the vampire. It's actually more uniquely
powerful now, longer removed from its bygone influences."

If you like that one give Electric Tears a try as well. While his speed guitar work is impressive, it's not my cup of tea in general. Original Thanks for the direction to those offerings go to satfrat & lonewolfy.

Valérie Leulliot has a great voice. She could sing in any language and I'd like it!

Young Effectuals is my favorite Helio Sequence album. There's so much going on that it's almost exhausting to listen too!
