Re: (TV) Rating the TV albums



i'm with Howard here - i really rate most of W&C plus the first vinyl side
of the Wonder (though the eponymous disc is still Verlaine's best by a LONG
stretch)- the rest i couldn't care if i never heard again - even though i
own them i never listen to them - y'know life's too short....

W&C is much maligned so it's nice to see it get so many thumbs
up-such evocative ambient mood music (perfect in the car at night as Howard
says)
much influenced i'd say by 50's sci-fi soundtracks.
