is anyone going to any of their shows?

**chriswdc** · June 13th, 2002, 04:10 PM

I thought their first release was extremely well done. I would see them if they visited DC.

**synthfemme** · June 17th, 2002, 06:09 PM

Maybe they will someday, I'm sure.

**synthfemme** · June 20th, 2002, 07:31 PM

I think their new cd is pretty good.
Although I do prefer the first one.

What do you guys think?

**chriswdc** · June 20th, 2002, 08:39 PM

I have a definite preference for their first CD. "Labor Saving Device" is so well done, and the guitars are perfect. The first album is a lot of fun to listen to.

**Synthpopalooza** · June 21st, 2002, 08:31 AM

Labor Saving Device is very nice ... albeit, it sounds to me like there is a heavy New Order influence in the melody, one can almost imagine Peter Hook's trademark guitar riffs across it. Not that that's a bad thing.

Sorta reminds me of this band from Missouri called Your Silent Face. Same sorta thing.

**synthfemme** · June 24th, 2002, 03:19 PM

Maybe at their concert, they might play a few songs of their first album, you never know =)

'labor saving device' is amazing i love it!! i'm gonna check the other tracks as well and maybe add some fine china to my 'to buy' list. why is it so many tracks on mp3.com don't allow you to save? is there a way around this? i've been messin' around but can't get to to actual file?

i mean i can stream just fine but i wanna throw this on a car cd...
