Any fans? They’ve always been one of my favorites but I’ve been listening to them a lot this last year

I only know "I Know What I'm Here For," the music video was on MTV all the time when I was a kid. Is that what they usually sound like?

no - thats a bit of an outlier. but they’ve gone through a few phases
Look up Sometimes. Brian Eno once said it was his favorite thing he ever recorded

Sometimes is a great shout. Also Tomorrow, Ring the Bells, Vivacious, Blue Pastures, Out to get you...

each james album has 6-7 great songs. Laid (the album) is basically perfect. It’s a top ten 90s album for me

I love Laid. Such a wonderful album. One of my favorite songs in the world is a b-side from those sessions, called "The Lake".

there's a nice version on that orchestra album they released last year, but I don't know that it adds to the song.
