They've five CDs out over the last 12 years.  The last two (White on 
Blonde-97 and Hush-99) were a little more electronic.  I have all of their 
CDs but Southside, their first.  They're Scottish, pleasant, have a range of 
tolerable to great songs.  Sharleen Spiteri is the lead vocalist, and even 
with such an awful name she sings great.  Johnny McElhone was part of 
Altered Images and Hipsway before starting Texas.

Their third CD, "Rick's Road" from 93 is a great place to start.  Avoid the 
Mothers Heaven CD.  It's dumb.

The song "Once in a Lifetime" with those ridiculous asian-sounding xylophone 
sounds was an alt-hit here in 99, and "Say What You Want" was a better 
alt-hit here in 97.

looking back to our births - or forward to our demise
even scientists say everything is just light
not created, destroyed, but eternally bright
