Anakin TAD8001CD Digipak
"1998 - A Preview"

back to us - wonder what he's doing? - with Dog superimposed on his head.
I presume the Dog is Anakin.

   Recorded at the farm in Cornwall, one from the forthcoming selection
   of new songs.

3. scheer : say what you came to say
   scheer write their songs on the acoustic guitar, then shift to the
   heavy electric sound. Here's one from the forthcoming album that stayed
   acoustic.

4. Lisa Germano : reptile
   Don't need no sunshine "...from this record I recorded with Tchad
   Blake"

5. starry smooth hound : dreamt u in a dream
   Through the colour tiptoe inside you on the way the colour swim through
   you faithless.

   Is this the idiot bastard son of TMC?

   to love absolutely.
