Quite difficult, my favourite album... 1985, To Repel Ghosts, Solitude Sometimes Is.

Wish I could've picked ILTFA as well...

Regards,
Marwood.

Glasnost
Always/Never
Fragments

I don't know where the slagging of 1985 comes from, I like songs that tell a story(so to speak).

I found it really difficult to pick. I even love Emily. I think it's the thing with Lifeblood, it isn't really a collection of songs, it's more like an indulgent experience that just doesn't work unless you've got it on your most expensive headphones at the loudest comfortable volume, while listening to it on your own, in the dark, preferably in bed. It's one of the few records I own where the whole thing is so rich that you can drift totally into it, and be so captivated by some barely-noticable counter-melody that you didn't even know was there that you can lose all track of where you are in the song. I'm gonna go to bed now just so I can treat myself to it, Emily and all.
