reflecting on this thread,I remember buying "Pleasures" at the gig in London,a full 6 months before it's actual release(I think),I remember there was a dely in the copies getting to the gig as they came direct from the pressing plant to the gig!! Myself and my friend them.after the gig,went to Slimelight,then she drove home!! Both shattered we put on the cd when we got home and "Camera" was just outstanding!! in a half dazed state of no sleep it was just superb!! Still love it to this day!

Most of 'The Golden Section' and pretty much all of 'In Mysterious Ways' would fall foul for me here. The attraction of 'Your Dress' has always evaded me. The lyric, taken on its own, isn't at all bad, but all that frantic vocalising towards the end of the song... I just can't get that excited about a couple of yards of organza...

I have to admit, most of Electrofear does little for me, but I do have a Commodore Amiga-induced affection for "Into The Wonderful", and when I first heard it while playing "Gods", I knew there was something awfully familiar about it... I also like playing "Leaving" at an inhumanly loud volume in the car, due to the obvious "Through My Sleeping" connection, and the amazingly spleen-mashing bass. BTW, does anyone else get an inexplicable urge to, while singing along, replace "through my sleeping" with "through mice leaping"? :p

Tis strange, but I love IMW, and all the extra B-sides that were around the Golden Section/IMW period. Must say, a bit hypocritically, that I didn't mind 'Listen To the Drummer' until I found John wasn't really involved and now tend to skip it. I don't like much about 'automobile' and 'she robot', and think POE is the weakest Foxx/Gordon album, that said, it does contain some of the best Foxx songs - A Funny Thing has, IMHO, the best lyric he's ever written. So, I don't think 'Listen To The drummer' can be classed as Foxx, but would vote for 'Automobile' as the worst (still better than most people's best, tho') Cheers

"Your Kisses Burn V2" is a particular low point for me.

Don't care much for that! Although 'Leaving' isn't too bad. I do love 'Your Kisses Burn', but I do favour the 'From Trash' version. Sarah B
