I don't know about the rest of you, but after hearing
the Furs' new album, "Mirror Moves", I was amazed.

They really have come on as of late, and, thank God
it wasn't because of MTV!

I don't know about the rest of you, but after reading the recently posted
mini-review of the new P-Furs album, I was amazed.

'Mirror Moves' appeals to me as a warmed over attempt to recreate the
previous Furs release 'Forever Now.'  That, in turn, was a far cry from the
success of their first two LPs.

Both 'Forever Now' and 'Mirror Moves' seem to me to show the P-Furs moving
directly towards the MTV sound--and away from what made them so interesting
in the first place.

My recommendation is that you go look for the first two P-Furs albums--which
I think have both been "Nice Priced" at $4.99.  (Question:  Is $4.99 a nicer
price for the record companies that the previous $3.99 Nice Price?)

I've been listening to the furs for good while and yes, the trend towards
a more accessable sound started with their choice of T. Rundgren as producer
for Forever Now. I think that its more than coincidence that Rundgren 
appears as producer on so many albums where groups decided to 'cross over'
markets. Examples: Patti Smith-Waves album, Tubes-Remote Control  just to name
a few. Its no use crying over commercialized bands but if wishes could
kill....
