huntedbyafreak Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Gutted' date=' i think their last two albums are their finest.[/quote']I couldn't disagree more. I'd have to say that Philophobia and the Red Thread are their best work. Both are beautiful, inventive, eclectic albums. Monday at the Hug and Pint had it's high points, but it's not their finest. And as for The Last Romance... People tend to gush over it, but I feel that it's a case of the less said, the better. Terrible album. Just my opinion.It's sad that they're splitting up, but I feel that it's for the best. I think that the quality was nose-diving, but they're still one of my favourite bands. Does anyone have a copy of their tour dates?Edit. I do!November4th - Manchester, Night & Day5th - Sheffield, Leadmill7th - Norwich, Arts Center8th - Northampton, Soundhaus10 th - Cambridge, APU11th - Bristol, AR212th - Cardiff, Barfly13th - Exeter, Cavern15th - Colchester, Arts Centre16th - London, Garage17th - London, Garage19th - Southhampton, University20th - Liverpool, Academy 221st - Birmingham, Bar Academy22nd - Leicester, Charlotte23rd - Newcastle, Uni (Global)24th - Aberdeen, The Tunnels25th - Edinburgh, Cabaret Voltaire27th - Glasgow, King Tut's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Mad For Sadness was the first album I bought by them and still my favourite, the live arrangements of some of their strongest melodies from Philophobia were superb. Elephant Shoe was a bit of a struggle, but all the others have good moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NARC Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Have tickets for the Tunnels date gone on sale yet? Ticketmaster seems to deny the existence of any venue in Aberdeen apart from the Music Hall and Royal Aberdeen Golf Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
