Can anyone tell me if there are any other albums by T'Pau besides 'Bridge of
Spies' and 'Rage'? (thanks Woj, for making me a copy!!!!!) =) I absolutely
love the lead vocalists' voice and when I was in Tower Records this past week-
end, all they had in stock was 'BOS'.

Another KaTefan who likes T'pau too! (does that make two of us?) T'pau have released two albums (in the UK at least): "Bridge of Spies" (which I heard was just called "T'pau" in the US coz somebody screwed up the artwork between here and there) and "Rage". The good news is that after more than two year's silence, a new T'pau album ("Promise") will be released in the UK on June 3rd. Dunno if/when it will be released in the US. Despite the fact I've got five KaTe albums, on as purely subjective and personal basis, my favorite album is still "Bridge of Spies". Carol Decker (lead vocalist) isn't (of course) in the same league as KaTe, but she makes up for it with her wonderful energy and power. And I always thought T'pau's production was always great - nothing like as imaginative as KaTe's (again, of course) but very competent indeed. "Now, right or wrong they never walk alone, How lucky are the few who know where they belong" - T'pau, "Friends Like These". _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."

Hi folks, As the subject line says, I'd like some opinions/comments on T'Pau (the band, not Spock's mother!). I know they have two albums out, that the lead singer is supposed to have a great voice (she sure is pretty...). I heard a song off their first album, but that was a long time ago, and I'd like to know how the rest of their stuff stacks up. Thanks!

I remember T'Pau, I liked their song, what was it, heart and soul? Haven't heard much of them since, though. Yet another band, like Innocence Mission, that comes, makes an album, and goes... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Superstructure is crumbling!

By the way, T'Pau is not Spock's mother (Amanda), she is the Vulcan High Preistess :) No..., naw, I'm not a Trekkie... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Superstructure is crumbling!

Albums: - "Bridge of Spies" or "T'pau" depending on what side of the puddle you're on. (1987) - 1988: "Rage" (1988) - One more due out in the UK last week ("Promise") but I haven't seen it yet. (first single from it ("Whenever you need me") released a few weeks ago, got to #20 in UK chart). Lead singer: Carol Decker, 'bout same age as KaTe, not quite as pretty (IMHO 8^), nice powerful voice, but not too expressive. IMHO, "BoS" is great, "Rage" slightly less so, there's a new producer on the new album and I don't think he's quite got the same touch as the last one (Roy Thomas Baker). Dunno 'bout US release, wouldn't be too optimistic though... _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."

Yet another band, like >Innocence Mission, that comes, makes an album, and goes... Not quite. Maybe they came and went in America, but actually they came, made an album, made another one the next year, went (for a couple of years) came back and made another one... _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."
