Their album tracks up till 1994 were super ace too. Now they just make me cross (see also the waffly commentary to Finisterre). This is usually the point where I say that I once saw Bob and Pete shopping in Beanos (Croydon second-hand record shop of greatness). They were looking at that Thunderbirds single from the early 90s.

'Amateur' off Finisterre - the hardest, most electro song on that album "Janine. Just nineteen. Joined the neighbourhood scheme" etc.

I thought Tales From Turnpike House was awesome when I first heard it, but I don't really listen to it ever.

Actually I heard 'Let's build a zoo' recently and liked it, so perhaps I should relent and see if their other recent stuff is any good.

it's not bad per se - it's just that I only have so many "ooh I really wanna hear some St Etienne" moments in my life, what with so much music sloshing around. and when I have one of those moments there are just other better things to choose.

I (still) think Tales... = major Return To Form, a few jarring moments notwithstanding.
