Track listing

I cant believe this album isn't more popular. It's totally perplexing. I'm the first person to review it in over 7 years. Mind-boggling.

The most effective moment however was the tabooist Sorrow Floats, spotlighting the rarely touched on subject of female alcoholism but with a tenderness latterly thrown on its head by a pealing, guitar on guitar climax. It definitely shouldn’t have worked, but like the majority of its counterparts, it definitely did. Elsewhere, the two additional versions of I Walk The Earth are proof of its durability, but it’s easy to understand why the rest was excluded from the original version.

Review: Voice Of The Beehive - Let It Bee (reissue

The duo arrived as LA refugees in 1986, primarily to escape what they described as the ‘sleazy politics’ of the West Coast music business, and would eventually stay on for a decade.It's consistent the entire way through, without a drop in quality anywhere on the album. It's a shame this band hasn't received much of the acclaim it deserves. Some may turn their nose up at the fun, playful pop and assume it's not worthy of praise, but those people are dead inside and probably had their father tear up their stuffed animal as a child.
