has anyone had a better drum sound than Spoon?

[BodyInTheThames]

Agreed

worth mentioning also that the artwork/packaging on their stuff is always top notch too

Gabe Guernsey’s solo LP ‘Physical’ that came out on Erol Alkan’s Phantasy label a couple of years ago is pretty good as well

remember bringing a load of people who were on mushrooms to see them at a festival years ago. The looks on their faces every time the beat shifted!

Ha brilliant! Used to work in a bar and we used to regularly stick on Fall Back on Fri / Sat nights to bemuse ourselves to the highly varied reactions from punters - most lost their shit to it in fairness!

[WizardLizard]

Oh yeah the artwork is a bit Factory (heh) esque, isn’t it?

Had absolutely no idea about Gabe Guernsey’s solo works so cheers for the heads up there. Heard a bit of Nik’s work with Chris & Cosey which was really great too. The last time I saw FF was soundtracking Metropolis at the Science Musuem which was ace!
