i agree....the furs music has aged very well imo. listening to mirror moves and their first disc last night...i was taken by how fresh they still sounded. india, imitation of christ and sister europe off the 1st disc are incredible songs. the same can be said for almost all the songs on mirror moves too. i've had alice's house and highwire days playing in my head all day today.
any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there?
great time for music imo. new sounds, edgy but musical and sometime.....downright deep/moving. never got into the really hardcore punk seen. liked the softer side destruction alot better =)
just finished a psychedelic furs binge tonight. had joy division/early new order on all weekend. planning on reminiscing with lou reed/velvet underground and early rem later this week.
haven't really listened to this stuff much in recent memory. not sure why?. i own almost everything these bands ever put out but still rarely give them a turn anymore?.
early furs with all that sax and mr butler's near painful voice =). i'm gonna grab some tickets for their upcoming show at house of blues (chicago). i'm sure it won't be as crazy as the shows back then but the music will still be great. didn't even know they were touring.
really enjoyed joy division and after the death of Ian....early new order stuff. incredible music considering their roots. new order eventually lost their edge but back then....they were it!
any other fans out there?
