The new Coldplay - it's superb !

And - ' Mission California ' by Cross Canadian Ragweed.

A great alt-CountryRock band I've never seen mentioned on here.

Check 'em out - very impressive.

Well, I always think of the fabulous Michael Mann movie,"Manhunter," every time I hear "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

Well, "Manhunter" and then of course "The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane"

Nice relaxing song though.

It charted three times in '85-'86 in the UK

- I still have the 12"

YouTube - Latin Quarter - Radio Africa

When I heard it I had to concede I was wrong about him. Then he released Stanley Road and Heavy Soul, which were just as good.
He's a strong-willed guy and tends to go off at tangents, which makes his later stuff a bit inconsistent. Haven't heard the new one yet.
Incidentally, you were talking earlier about Dr John. Weller covered I Walk On Gilded Splinters (from Gris Gris) on Stanley Road.

I only like The Style Council - but this would hardly come as a surprise to anyone here in this forum

Forgot about that one. That was the original Hannibal Lecter film, wasn't it?

I was also very pleasantly surprised to see Latin Quarter`s album pop up on Sparks.
Will have to take a listen to it, I remember Radio Africa (of course), and there were also a few other singles from it too.
Been so long since I have heard anything by them.

Currently listening to "Songs From The Big Chair" by Tears For Fears - great album

Still sounds so good after all these years.
And the year was.... (cue solaris)
