![]() I didn't realize, until I looked at the wiki entry, that Bells was produced by Gary Smith, an early Pixies producer - the rationale is fairly obvious. I think your comments re Submarine Bells are reasonable: it was clearly designed - for better or worse - to crack the American (and UK?) market, which I guess it did, a bit. Certainly "Look for the Good in Others." would have been sounded great on lunch hour radio and "Night of Blue Chill" just as good after midnight. I'm not sure what I would have made of the record in 1987, but I think my love of the Housemartins, R.E.M. I did not know about Mayo Thompson fascinating to read about him on wikipedia. I've been moderately in thrall to Brave Words for a couple of years now, although I've never heard it on vinyl. Tear, come on: I have to know what your friend (and you) considered roughly equivalent to Brave Words! The House with A Hundred Rooms was a secret bonus track on some pressings (and the cd) of this album, unfortunately not the one here, however it serves a fantastic taster for a real aural treat:Ġ4 Look For The Good In Others And They'll See The Good In You I hope that these songs will give you as much pleasure as they have given me over the years. ![]() This was the group's first proper album and, for me it contains some of the finest pop songs of that, or any other, period. The Chills came from Dunedin in New Zealand and were active throughout the 1980s and into '90s. My vinyl copy went missing years ago but the songs stayed with me, and I was ecstatic when I found this scratchy old copy in a charity shop a few weeks ago. Brave Words has grown with me over the past twenty three years and has gradually become one of my favourite ever records. I thought I would try to do my bit to spread the love on the first day of 2011 by sharing this beautiful album with the world.
