I want to thank Katherine for a burn unit song "Powder Blue" that launched a new music journey for me. I Love This Band, adventurous and honest to it's influences, Talk Talk, Peter Gabriel a bit Marilllionesque here and there but then again they are definitely Gabrielesque as was Talk Talk for that matter. All in a Brian Wilsonish BGVocal Beam of Light of production. Sounds! The spaces! Mark Hollis always had this thing with restraint and simplicity that is evident here, The Guitarist has this Fripp/Belew Edge and is aggressive and persistant -persuasive with new ideas and unlikely solos. Bryan Ferry, PreFab Sprout, and Radiohead, Jeff Buckley also come to mind. I'm probably way behind on this but what a find. Guy Garvey is pretty talented singer/songwriter.

Elbow is respective to a sound that alot of us grew up with, my guess is that Mick ,Dale, and Mike Fisher, Eric would love or love already. "Asleep in the Back "is Brilliant! Just bought "Leaders of the Free World" as well. Great stuff, and a joyous, brave listening experience. Great tastes Katherine! what do you know of them? How did you find them?
