<<In a way that collection kind of makes me wish Joni
would take a similar approach with some of the cuts
from DED & CMIARS ... like the solo piano treatment of
The Three Great Stimulants. >>
Thanks again, Don...I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't sincerely interested in hearing
what you had to say. Like most folks, I'm not as exposed to The Fixx (other than the
radio hits), so I'll have to keep my ears open and give those a listen when I get the
chance.
PS: A good way to get me to buy a record is to say it reminds you of Hejira! :~)
Further to your earlier statement, maybe Joni should have made a "Reload" instead of a
"Misses"...re-record some of her songs with a different treatment. Anybody have any
ideas for a project like that? I've been enjoying Anni Clark's GREAT version of
conversation, with a nice subtle bass line and congas accenting the guitar, and would
love to hear her do some of the early stuff with some added musical textures to
achieve the fuller sound she got on FTR.
