This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Ive been listening to a lot of their post resurrection stuff and been mightily suprised at how good it is. "Siberia" is especially great, easily as good as any of the original 5 records and "Flowers" also is up with their best. I didnt even know they had had released a new live album, which looks rather tasty ...... "Me, Im All Smiles".

I was supposed to see them during the european athletics championships last year, they were putting on a free show. Unfortunatley, because of that terrorist alarm with the liquids and all they couldn't fly over because the airports were closed in England.

The very first concert I ever saw. Thanks to a very indulgent older sister who let me tag along as a 14 year old in 1981.
I still remember how the four band members walked out to the sound desk single file before the concert. All wearing the long raincoats that were compulsory in those post-Joy Division days. They looked about 10 feet tall and my mouth hung open as I came to terms with the fact that I was about to see my first concert.

I haven't kept up with them at all since about the third album, but they had a huge impact on me then.

Rescue
Pictures On My Wall
Villiers Terrace
Over The Wall
A Promise
Heaven Up Here
Back Of Love
Never Stop

Only 8 I am afraid, and nothing too obscure, but great fun to even be thinking about these guys again.
