Comment:
I've been meaning to do this for a long time, as the Raincoats are one of my dark-horse all-time favorite bands--completely indescribable, wholeheartedly original, palpably *human*. Their usual tag, "post-punk," does not begin to do them justice, and I'm still waiting for Ana da Silva to be acknowledged as one of modern rock's great songwriters. Really, I ask you AotMers, are there many songs greater than "Fairytale in the Supermarket"? Last tracks cut: "So Damn Early" and "Odyshape." Thanks to lo-fi for the reunion material.
Feedback:
i've been meaning to check these gals out for a while now -- wish i had a way & a chance of doing so... eh-hem, eh-hem...
I don't think there are any bands closer to my heart than the Raincoats. Great selections.
I rushed to Rhapsody to listen but they are unavailable.
Damn fine overview of a damn fine band.
This is a great tribute to a great band. Very nice, Rob.
i only have odyshape...but i've been wanting to inspect this band much, much further... i might have to assemble this one for myself...
A wonderful collection of gems from a great band my friend. Funnily enough a track by them appears on my latest mix (which is almost complete) that doesn't appear here. I agree with your comments whole-heartedly.
i only have one album by them and i do not know it that well...i'LL re-listen.
Wonderful collection of tracks! I really love the Raincoats and think I may be very much inclined to agree re. Fairytale In The Supermarket - I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. Glad you included Lola; well done ovearll.
I agree with Siobhan, nice to see Lola!
You did it again. Great band, great mix.
