Thanks too for putting the case for Remember Remember.<br /><br />I agree with you both about Comet Gain, they do seem to come pre-packaged with their own highly selective cultural context, and that can be so important.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961928950277859778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11915226.post-83596682738731319182010-07-06T22:52:49.921+01:002010-07-06T22:52:49.921+01:00Top review again, good sir!

The full band Remember Remember experience was certainly different to the 1 man with looping experience, but I liked it. I didn't find the drumming lumpy in fact it made me think of Neu and Can and the like and it was the other percussion that sounded most like the Reich I know from the 'Phases' box.<br /><br />Comet Gain were everything I wanted and needed them to be and so much more. There was something a little dog-eared but romantic about them and it was so endearing. You just know that they all have great dvd collections and that a party at their house - they do share a house in a Monkees style don't they? - would have the best arguments about music and books. You also know that someone would get a little too tipsy and spill their wine over their copy of 'The Magic Touch' :)<br /><br />P.S. This is my favourite line of yours ever:<br /><br />"Rachel is dressed to give a performance review, but is behaving like a shadow boxer."brogueshttp://blog.myspace.com/broguesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11915226.post-2451204437826614412010-07-06T21:00:59.499+01:002010-07-06T21:00:59.499+01:00I've never managed to catch Comet Gain live - ...I've never managed to catch Comet Gain live - they cancelled the gig I was supposed to see them at in Paris some years ago. I'm sure they must be perfectly unperfect. I love the way they have obsessions, ideals, high aims, they seem to be in a little world of their own.Annehttp://anneemall.free.frnoreply@blogger.com
