'Absent Friends' is great.
It is virtually impossible to find Promenade at a reasonable price on the internet. It's £22.96 on play.com.
Ooh, thanks- I'll give that a listen later. I think I'll get Absent Friends and Promenade next (possibly Bang Goes The Knighthood too) and take it from there. Wonderful stuff, I am very much looking forward to hearing more.
I decided to give the Divine Comedy a try after hearing the band mentioned so many times on this site. I think that was one of the first Divine Comedy threads made on here. I listened to a few songs and liked them, but it wasn't until the album Regeneration...that's when I actively listened to the Divine Comedy. And I have no words the describe the magnanimity of Absent Friends. Spine-tingingly brilliantly. I am hooked for life.
You have a word, but it's the wrong one.
I'm just getting into TDC after hearing Fin de Siecle. Where should I go next?
I've only just got into TDC as well, so only have one album at the moment, but I'd really recommend Casanova. I loved it on first hearing, but it's seriously gotten under my skin in the past week.
Fave song from said album? This was the record that got me into them some 14 years ago. Seeing them live with a full orchestra was immense!
Yay for a Divine Comedy thread! I love Neil Hannon. (The Duckworth Lewis Method are also very good, and I hate cricket.)
Poppy, what did you think of Duke Special? I saw him in Leeds a while ago and he was amazing.
Saw him at Holy Trinity Church. The Divine Comedy would be fantastic in there. (Unlikely I know.)
