Anyone else here fixated by the sound they make off Naim kit?

Have yet to even buy one of their albums, but I will admit to liking " Kiss Me " Red Face

Graham, if it sounds great, I'd be interested - any particular album?

I'm looking for Crash Test Dummies - God shuffled his feet, as I think that'll sound great also!

Their third, called (oddly enough) just "Sixpence None The Richer", is the obvious place to start. It includes "Kiss Me", mentioned above, as well as their joyous rendition of The La's "There She Goes" (and quite a lot else too).

The recording is, in my opinion, quite a bit better than your average current stuff, but it's not by any means "purist". Great songs, though!

Sadly, I could never get past the naff name, almost as bad as Fairground Attraction. I know it shouldn't matter, but...... Frown

It's a quote taken from CS Lewis.

By way of update, I see from their website that the group (appear to?) have broken up and that there's agreatest hits compilation available.

Just listening to them now. Perhaps the loveliest lead vocalist of all time in the form of Leigh (Bingham) Nash.

Dear Graham,

Look on the Ring thread, please.

Anyone notice their sonic resemblance to the late, lamented Sundays?
