I've got that album, there's some cool tunes on that. I liked the Plankeye's
version of "All the King's Horses" best. Made me buy one of their albums
(The Spark) which proved to be a disappointment.
This dates back to the time I would buy all kinds of albums by various
artists to get to know many different artists and many different styles of
music.
That is also the way I found out about Over the Rhine. At least, that's what
I thought. Now I don't know anymore. (It's late).
I was going to tell you I got to know OtR by a service set up by the biggest
gospel music distributer in Holland a few years ago. They would release a
magazine four times a year with a CD. The CD contained, for about 20
artists, an intro (first 1:45) of two or three songs from their most recent
album.
This was a great (and cheap) way to hear something of a lot of different
artists. This introduced me to Third Day, Sixpence and The Waiting and
one-time buys Adam Again (Perfecta), Clash of Symbols and The Stryper
Tribute (which got me into Morella's Forest).
Enough for now.
(Did this make any sense?)
