Has anyone of you heard "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet"?
It the saddest song i've ever heard. makes me weep :(
and i'm not a religious person.

have not heard it... thou looking for info on Bryars, i've
read incredibly different opinions... some say he is a
modern classical genius, while others say that its total
melodramatic emotion crap of no value whatsoever,
pseudo-classical B.S.... so i don't know

oh. and the Aphex remix is cool. i love the mood of it.
unlike any of his other tracks. i think he really tried on
that one, maybe he respects Bryars?

anybody have the CD single for sale? i have not seen it on
ebay in awhile... wish i had got it...

I've heard- sinking of the titanic, after the requiem, and
cadman requiem. wish i'd heard the afx remix to compare to
these. I'm not an expert in classical music but I think he
is worth checking out. kind of somber but then thats a good
thing.

Havent heard much of Bryars but I'm very keen to get some of
his stuff. I love Richards remix, very emotional indeed.
