The Church are a great band. criminally underrated. i think most u2 fans would dig them actually. good to see someone into them. i haven't listened to them in a while, but they craft some beautiful songs
How cool to see someone else who knows of The Church. I think I must be Interference's resident Church geek.
If you haven't listened to them in a while it might be a good time to get reaquainted with them (other people proselytise for their church -- I proselytise for mine
). They have put out a lot of material over the past few years and I'd recommend at least four of the most recent discs (
After Everything Now This; Forget Yourself; Beside Yourself (a collection of b-sides and unreleased material from FY); and
El Momento Descuidado (a collection of acoustic reworkings of several of their older songs and five new songs).
Plus, several of their older albums are being remastered and rereleased, along with an extra disc of additional material (I do think these might be Australia only releases, but they aren't that hard to get). These rereleases should be happening any time now. I think
Starfish; Gold Afternoon Fix; Priest = Aura; and
Sometime Anywhere are the albums slated for rerelease.
And in early 2006, their new album
Uninvited, Like the Clouds is due to be released, with touring to follow.
So it's a great time to be a Church fan.
