Nice review man, it was about time someone reviewed this. I said I’d do it eons ago, but laziness prevailed! Well written little piece… You hit the nail on the head, it’s a far more succinct beast.
Fair play.... i ordered a Jesu t shirt millenia ago from the world of hydrahead and when it arrived it had a small multitude of compact discs in it... complete with this amongst others (austerity program, pyramids pre release + steve brodskys octave museum) and out of the lot of these 5ives was the one that i kept coming back to. really enjoyed it. i rate it a lot more than heamophiliac dream.
I'm well into this record. I love 5ive anyways, but I think this one shows some cool developments with their sound. They're a mysterious bunch though aren't they. Do they gig at all?
5ive are a band i've still not yet got into, i have one mp3 of theirs i've had for years, but they seem so distant. Most purchases of mine are bands i see live and as you say they ain't toured for a while. I remember a few years back they did or didn't play derby vic, that's the closest i remember.
