hmmm...i like their first, _the nature of things_, best, but all three
are quite excellent. the good news is that _the nature of things_ will
be re-released on cd sometime "real soon now". no idea when though (alas
and alack).

unfortunately, true. irs records dropped them not too long ago for some
unknown reason. from what i have heard, they are currently scopping for
a new label so they can get on with a new album (which will probably be
produced by david ogilive again).

Was this first album on the same record label?  If so why is it being
released on CD after they've lost their record contract?  I've never
seen _The Nature of Things_ in any format.

It does seem that they were moving towards a harder edge between _Pin &
Web_ and _Portent Hue_ and I actually like that.  In fact, one person
warned me away from their earlier stuff saying it was a bit too light.
I don't know how they could make the leap from "too light" to _Pin &
Web_ in one swell foop but then this fellow has recently been accused 
of having foriegn fluids in his cornflakes so who knows what may have
been effecting his thought processes at the time.

In any case please keep us notified of further developments.

What are you all talking about  Nature of Things WILL be released on CD?
even here in the cultural wasteland of Oklahoma I've had Nature of Things
on CD for 6 months. Its real good.

P.S. I used to dream about kate bush, but now I only dream about
Kyrstal Burgers....
