I think I'm gon' vote "Daughter of a Child" here but there are about 5 acceptable answers.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 27 January 2008 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

Isn't it?

If Haines really prefers the first album to this one he is nutso. Genius, evil nutso.

I will be doing After Murder Park next, to celebrate this one getting 5 votes.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 27 January 2008 14:28 (eighteen years ago)

I'm more excited about an After Murder Dark poll, it's true.

My favorite Luke Haines project, period. Voted for "Chinese Bakery," which is the anti-Saint Etienne.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 27 January 2008 16:09 (eighteen years ago)

"New French Girlfriend" is perhaps the most beautiful song that Haines ever has written.

― zeus, Sunday, 27 January 2008 16:11 (eighteen years ago)

Underground Movies.

One of my favorite bands.

"New French Girlfriend" is ~~perhaps~~ the most beautiful song that Haines ever has written.

― contenderizer, Thursday, 31 January 2008 00:13 (eighteen years ago)

My least favorite Auteurs album for some reason. I consider myself among his biggest fans, so I feel pretty left out here.

"Chinese Bakery"

― Bee OK, Thursday, 31 January 2008 09:15 (eighteen years ago)

I bought this about 10 years ago for $1. I remember liking "Chinese Bakery" a lot.

Upper Classes. Hains is a master at Vengeful Swearing

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Friday, 1 February 2008 00:01 (eighteen years ago)

Oh fuck off.

Good call on number 2 tho.

― Noodle Vague, Friday, 1 February 2008 07:57 (eighteen years ago)

BBC session of Underground Movies is good

― That mong guy that's shit, Friday, 1 February 2008 09:34 (eighteen years ago)

Such few votes...

― zeus, Friday, 1 February 2008 12:24 (eighteen years ago)

four months pass...

After owning and listening to this one for a few years, it's finally struck me as a pretty amazing recording. Tracks like "Brainchild," "I'm a Rich Man's Toy" and "Underground Moives" are so effective.

― teflon monkey, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 17:52 (seventeen years ago)

three years pass...

when I tried to write songs in the mid nineties I imitated the structure of "Chinese Bakery" so often.
