Not the best song on the album but good to hear OK Go on RP. The first album is better IMHO

I quite like this. Sounds a bit like the Levellers in a mellow moment. Might have to buy the album. Thanks RP.

Drummer Bobbie Gillespie became the lead singer of Primal Scream who are on a bit of a comeback at the moment. 'April Skies' takes me back to my moody teenage years. Rock on........

Great to see OK GO on RP. I must say there are better tracks than this on the first album but its great they are getting some exposure at last.

Enya is one of those artists you either love or hate. I'm afraid I'm in the latter category. Look at that rating distribution! It's just not to my taste.

Hey - what's with the Jaco Pastorious bass riff on this? Interesting meld of jazz, country and folk. Sounds like the theme from that Bill Forsyth film? Is that what it is? Hmm...

Saw Ok Go live last year supporting Brendan Benson - they blew him away. I submitted a track from their first album 'Ok go' last year but got a 'sorry' - maybe time to resubmit now that RP has 'seen the light'....

Are this band from Oz? I've never heard of them but to my ears its a bit of INXS crossed with The Mission. Not unpleasant but not great.

U2 clones with the 'passion' gene removed. Just my humble opinion.

I actually quite like this. Unfortunately, the album is a bit hit and miss. Much better is the remarkably similar sounding band named 'Aberfeldy' - I'll upload a couple of tracks to LRC if not already there.

As someone who was brought up on celtic music (but never really a fan), I find this track lacks something - I cant quite put my finger on what it is, though. Maybe just too over produced and not enough in the performance?

This is the first track I've heard from the latest offering and I might just have to get on Amazon now (linking from RP of course)......

radiomao wrote: I immediately thought of Jane's Addiction when i heard this. The vocals are very Perry Farrell and it has a sort of 'trippy' feel like some tracks on early Jane's Addiction. Quite cool.

Good to see the Trashcans making RP. They come from the same town as me. Some of the best bands ARE Scottish, you know......

First Jellyfish album (Bellybutton) is one of my all-time faves. I was honoured to see them live twice. Experiences I'd never forget if I could remember being there in the first place (ahem!) Such a shame that tracks like 'Man I used to be' and 'I wanna stay home' can't make it on to RP. And then there's Jason Falkner and Brendan Benson.........
