following the (possibly) best song ever, i heard a new offering of this classic by some group i can't remeber the name... the genuis that bryan maclean was, now covered by such artists as the damned ufo the boo radleys sarah brightman (oh dear god, why?!) i think the name of the band is calexico or something like that but if anyone can pint the direction of the real name i would be most appreciative. cheers. btw - the original version is by a band called LOVE which is the 1st track from the album "forever changes" which is possibly my favourite album ever (despite the fact i love electronic music) |

love - forever changes is indeed a beautiful album... some of the best pop one can find |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
"pop" ??? thats probably the last acronism i would use to describe love. psychedelia, yes, pop, absoultely not! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but im glad you like it. i know of no-one who has heard it that doesn't like it *waits for slagging* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
well I am sorry that you have a trauma with the word, cos indeed its pop... but whatever... I dont really care about the name... I just like the music... dont worry so much |
||||||||

great song.. i have some mp3s of people covering it, including the boo radley and former love guitarist bryan mclean. for some answers but not very comprehensive |
||||||||

It's definitely ''pop'', and some of the finest around. Only Sgt. Pepper betters it, among '67 releases. Alone Again Or is definitely a highlight... Andmoreagain is my favorite on there though. They don't make 'em like that anymore. |

sorry forgot to mention NEXT WEEK sees a live perfomance (recorded in liverpool?) of the complete album by arthur lee from this year. the review i read says this is an essential compaion to the original which, if true, would be a drastic improvement on any of his other live performances. |

yep ive decided, best album ever |

Check out Ocean Rain by Echo and the Bunnymen if you haven't heard it... it reminds me of Forever Changes... same nice acoustic arrangements and dreamy atmosphere. Same production values and lots of tasteful strings. And ''Bunnymen'' is so cute. |

|
|
is this a windup? echo and the bunnymen? get your lugholes around some teardrop explodes at the same time, then listen to the entire back catalogue of the klf. them read "bad wisdom" by bill drummond and mark manning and don't say your life hasn't been changed by these events... ;) |

belle & sebastian did alone again or? im off to kill myself now... |
||||||||
|
|

|

Fack off? I wanna hear that. I cover that song a lot myself, when I'm home alone. Or when I THINK I'm home alone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe one day ill send you a recording of me playing it on the acoustic - its not that difficult you know.. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i even pulled a bird playing that! :) |

the cover for the new live album is very similar to the old cover, its just arthur lee on his own. |

the name of the band IS calexico not only do they fucking rock, but they're all these incredibly attractive, highly musically skilled boys. I saw them recently at a music fest up in Seattle... what, I ask, is wrong with Belle and Sebastian? I love them. forever changes is excellent. why does it always have to be either or? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds ok, but rather an unoriginal choice of cover versions, god knows ive played it enough times with other people. so maybe you could enlighten me as to who this calexico is? |
||||||||

smart college boys from tucson AZ who are extremely skilled spaghettiwestern/jazzfusion/60ssurfrock/afrobrazilian/post- musicians that blend this rock. you know? they are excellent, they had horns and xylophone and a vibraphone that was not loud enough and their drummer is amazing. I give them my stamp of a-pproval |

are they on warn a brother |

i guess they're fans of arthur lee, but hey, who isn't? :) |

i prefer the real thing (tortoise) but calexico are pretty good.... and hot! *fans self* |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
funny moment: if anyone has the extra tracks added on to the re-release of 'forever changes', the last track 'your mind and we belong together' (tracking session highlights) is hilarious... arthur lee bossing people around. not surprising he sacked his whole band shortly after :) |
||||||||

i've got it, and you're right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yes, this probably is the best album ever! |
