Yes they are very good. Nominated for mercury in 2007 but pipped by Klaxxons much to my grumpy displeasure

agreed - Two Suns is excellent, shades of Goldfrapp but more mystical.
What's the first CD like? Worth getting?

One of my favorite new releases this year.

Yes it is ...

Fur & Gold (1st BFL album) is excellent.

Anyone tried the vinyl for ether albums?

Definitely a highlight, along the woman from Mali, on last weeks Later.

Kind of an early Cure with extra girly singing, which is nice.

Really? I must investigate. Anything that sounds like early Cure has got to be OK.

Rather better than the Cure IMHO.
I was fascinated that she was proudly showing Jools a small and esoteric instrument called a Marxophone. I could only recall one previous use of this in rock/pop - Brian Wilson 1970 - then I looked on Wiki and there's quite a few.

The 'woman from Mali' was the renowned Oumou Sangare for those interested.

Madness were pretty good too. However this Marianne Faithfull revival is NOT a good idea.

The mighty Depeche Mode and the mightier Sonic Youth on this weeks.
