(but then I love Split-era Lush and it was quite close to that kind of sound).
yeah, i've always thought this album worked great as a kind of "alternate dimension" post-Split Lush album... anyway, it sure ameliorated Lush withdrawal back in '98.
i never tracked down the EPs, but I am way intrigued to hear their cover of Paris Angels' "Perfume"

it is lovely, the other b-side 'strip polka' is also great, and the EP version of spoiled children >>> the album version

'slow dancing angels' from the reborn single is one of their best moments, if not their best - that it was not on the album is completely ridic

thanks for the recs. i need to hear this EP version of "spoiled children", the version on fourfold remedy is a huge favorite of mine. it became stuck in my head for WEEKS after i bought that album.
