Here is the 12" single "Stay".

今晚聽 The Blue Nile, 我幾鍾意隊band， 但係香港唔多出名，講親都冇人識。

I know as they are not even well-known in the UK either, only to a few. To begin with they were signed to Linn Record and their records are mainly disturbed to the dealers as demo. Secondly their music is too advanced to appeal the mass. Thirdly they are from Scotland ^Q^

I had their debut album only because a friend of mine was a Linn dealer and he asked me if I want some records. "A Walk Across the Rooftops" is one of them and together with some Carol Kidd's.

Swastikas for Noddy! very nice ^_^

Is your the original 1988 issue or later reissue?

They are very much acquired taste and closely connected with Nick Cave. If I have remembered correctly with my memory they are very similar to The Incredible String Band and to certain degree Sigur Rós. There is a cult following and sadly my wife won't let me play their music.

Hi Vash,

It's good to know that there are still people interested in them and still buying their music.

The reason I am bringing R.E.M. into discussion is a followed up of the discussion on VU and Patti Smith. As you may already know that Stipe absolutely adores Patti Smith and cites that VU has big influence on both of him and Buck.

BTW R.E.M. is supposed to mean Rapid Eye Movement which is a form of sleep. Stipe just chose it randomly from a dictionary allegedly.

Yes, the Regular Eyes Movement, REM.

I have the special LTD. edition for their recent releases but on CD format.

Does anyone still remember them?

They are once the biggest and greatest band in the world!! They still are to me regardless the shit they made in recent years.

I think I saw them 5 times in total. It's sad but true and I don't mind what people say anyway.

It's the same with Radiohead, Coldplay.......

Good choice, notfat ^_^

They are once my favourite and played constantly. I saw them couple of times mostly in the small venue like in the Uni.

Another band with great influence from VU and Patti Smith. Good guitar and drum but I was quickly taken over by what I called "Atmospheric" Rock like Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Dead Can Dance and Portishead.

It's good to see them still going strongly after all these years. I think I got itchy now and see if I can find their albums.

SONIC YOUTH
HAPPY HOLLOWEEN

I paid US 50 ONLY
there is less luck on this record for sure ha ha

Oh man, what happen to the skin!!!

Joking aside certainly the VU has some tender music people tend to ignore. I have some records by Lou Reed, Cale and my fond ones are those by Nico and her friends. Mike Oldfield played for her in one live record which I love dearly. I must get it out later ^_^
