Okay, someone asked about Ultravox. I'm not accustomed to doing music
reviews, though, so this is blunt. Also I didn't listen to the whole album
because it was wholly unlistenable. The only other thing I have by them is
Lament, and so I bought U-Vox expecting something at least mildly similar, and
of course I was wrong. The songs were standard crap, indeed, CaseyCasum
Scoobidoo playable. Fortunately the man who sold it to me was glad to take
it back, and I had the good fortune to buy Filigree & Shadow (T.M.C.) which
is infinitely more enjoyable. By the way, I recall someone complaining about
their recording of T.H.'s "Drugs", but I don't remember the specific complaint:
I found this track to be not only at least as wonderful as most of the other
songs on the album but (some other superlative here) as well. I especially
enjoyed "The Jeweler"; does anyone have the original recording of this? Where
is it to be found?
One more tag-on: I remember reading the phrase, "shuffle off this mortal coil"
in one of Shakespeare's plays, but I can't remember which one. Anyone know?
