Mudcat Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Originally posted by aeon: Stranger and Mudcat: I am with you on Modern English's After The Snow, I just love the production on there. But for me, the cream is their earliest 7" material (all later reissued on the Mesh And Lace CD). On the stereo I play Gathering Dust, 16 Days, Swans On Glass, Mesh And Lace, and Smiles And Laughter as an "EP" of sorts. I love that propulsive yet atmospheric sound. I think the distorted guitar tones on Gathering Dust and Smiles And Laughter are just great...raging, but still has that "combo amp with room tone" sound. cheers, aeon Modern English is a much neglected band. There is so much more than "Melt With You," (as great a song as that one is). Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big.

FrankieP Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Originally posted by Mudcat: Originally posted by The Stranger: ...Felix mentioned Modern English and I'd like to add that After The Snow is a great album. Very cool songwriting and guitar work. And that's coming from somebody who was thrashing it out around that time. ...If you like After The Snow you need to check out their Ricochet Days album. This one is even better, without a hit single (IMHO of course). Ricochet Days had a hit single. Well, maybe a minor one but "Hands Across The Sea" was a well known hit. Other groups that I really like are The Church and The Waterboys. "The Whole Of The Moon" is a great song imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
