Dana Fuchs - so hard to move.

The guitarist is so soulful

The Slits - Cut album.

Pop Master. Got 24 points in the first round. I'm amazed what I know up to a certain point but Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson and One True Voice are not my periods.

The Sound

Post-punk band who weren't on my radar at the time. Only heard these guys for the first time today. Impressed.

Chappers, they've got a bit of Echo and the Bunnymen about them, without being clones. Or maybe you already know them?

Eyelids - Seagulls Into Submission

The culmination of Portland's indie-rock royalty, EYELIDS features the musical talents of past and present members of acclaimed bands such as The Decemberists, Boston Spaceships, The Minus 5 and Guided By Voices.

Reminds me of Teenage Fanclub.

Fun. Don't think I remember them? Or not very well. Name seems a bit familiar. (Not for obvious reasons!)

Singer sounds a bit like the guy in Space.

Michael Nyman : Musique a Grande Vitesse (MGV)

It's on YouTube.

I like Michael Nyman and have a couple of his soundtracks. His work with Peter Greenaway got him wider attention, and was how I first got to hear it.

Heard something the other day that sounded very Nymany on a pop/rock album, but can't remember now what it was.

I got interested in Nyman (and then looked into Greenaway films) after seeing The Piano.

MGV is a bit different from the film songs, I think. I found it many years ago as a bonus disc included with The Piano Concerto and discovered I liked it better. It sounds like he has Aaron Copeland's Rodeo(barf!) and Bill Conti's Right Stuff Mach I Theme (awesome, underrated!) in mind. Never quite got why the drumming at the end is deliberately out of sync with the rest of the music.
