Does anyone like Doves? If you haven't got their debut 'Lost Souls' I suggest you get it. You might die soon never having heard it. New album is on the way and new single out now. They were formally Sub Sub. |

Why've I heard of sub sub? am I thinking of something else? Must've been the toys I played with in the bath last night.... :) Seriously... I've heard of them but I cant place it. |

Doves. Cool band. NME like them. I like NME. I love Doves. |

They were a dance band who did 'Ain't No Love' with Melanie Williams in the early 90s. Their studio burnt down and then they started making the most beautiful guitar music. Most of their stuff is insrumental and really locks into a groove, hence the previous dance incarnation. They are a million miles away from crap indie guitar music and you should buy their album. You need it. |

I bought the new album yesterday. I'm a bit disappointed. What do people think? Have you got it? |
||||||||

I liked the two trax that I heard from it so far.. (There goes the fear and New York) |

Have you got Lost Souls? If not, I can't recommend it highly enough. |

One of my friends did a little work with them a couple of years ago. I will try and get hold of him but I don't hold out much hope. The last I heard of him he was being an archaeologist in Ireland. |

Really? When they were Sub Sub? |
||||||||
|

Lost Souls is a fan-fucking-tastic album... I mean just listen to how nice "The Man Who Told Everything" is. Its even better live! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Wow. I've actually found someone on here who has it. They are amazing and i know people here would love that album. They lock into a groove and have similar dynamics to a lot of downtempo IDM stuff. Do you like Mogwai? |
||||||||

|
|
Mogwai..? They're local. :) |
||||||||

A local band for local people. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. They're a great band IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It was about 5 years a go so I guess they were still doves. I'm not too sure if it was all of them or just the one. I can remeber him saying it was like a collective. He was in Glasgow at the time. Does that figure? |

All I know about them is that they're from Manchester and were previously called Sub Sub. They had a hit with Melanie Williams called 'Ain't No Love' in early nineties. Then their studio burnt down and they formed a guitar band called Doves. |
||||||||

Manchester hey???Interesting! I haven't managed to get hold of my mate to get more info. I am seeing an old friend this weekend I shall ask if he knows any more. PS Jonesy do you like the scratching scene? (no silyy jokes) I noticed you like vinyl. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You mean turntablism right? Q-Bert, Invisibl Scratch Picklz, Mixmaster Mike? I'm not up on that stuff. Yeah, I mostly buy vinyl as its cheap in some of the shops here. I mostly buy deep house and downtempo jazzy stuff. I think they call it broken beat or nu-jazz. I like electronica but don't cane it all the time. What do you listen to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Difficult question. I have hunderds of records spanning all sorts of genres. I pretty much like instrmental stuff. I guess that's the only unifying quality in the stuff I listen to. In fact that is bollocks I love hip hop. Hmmm yeah I like JAzz, hip hop, funk, northern soul, electro, detroit techno etc..etc... |
||||||||

I hate lists but here's some of the stuff I really love (talk of Aphex Twin is getting tedious): Jazzanova Cinematic Orchestra Kruder & Dorfmeister Tosca Badly Drawn Boy DJ Shadow Faze Action Thievery Corp. Aqua Bassino Madkatt Courtship Miles Davis Sasha Presence I always look out for stuff on the labels: F-Comm G-Stone Nuphonic Compost Naked Records |

Love Doves! From my town too! Had the same music teacher as them in school (who they tell to shove a recorder up his arse in the sleeve of Lost Souls) but I prefer The Last Broadcast. They're one of the most decent current bands by far I reckon. |

I liked them for a bit last year, but they got boring pretty quickly. NME over-bone them, as always. |
||||||||
|

I dunno think their production is lush and quite refreshing to be honest. Better than Franz Ferdinand and all that average shit in the charts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They did have good production granted. It think it was the singer's voice that put me off eventually, its not the most charismatic. Having said all that I actually own a doves t-shirt I bought at leeds last year, still wear it occasionally :P |

The only track I know is Here It Comes (if thats the title) Very good, its on a uk skate video called First Broadcast which is wicked as its all really grim and rainy but with really chilled music, also has a track by plaid amongst others. I should check out more then, before I kark it. ramble on... |
