Pooka

Post by d.a.walker »

I am so so thrilled, I have just won their debut album and follow up Spinning on Ebay. I lost the albums during a house move and had been gutted ever since because I was never able to find them again.

I remember back in 1997 I had Spinning on repeat all the time, I loved the track God, Sir. Such beautiful voices, whatever became of them?? :?:
I dreamed of 747's, over geometric farms...

That is a great track and funnily enough the only track I can remember from the 'Spinning' album. :)

Yes, a very good band I had the chance to see live a few years ago.

It seems they both are carrying on a (less interesting) solo career...

Oh, and I named my first and still alive cat after them.

Such a shame really as together they were just captivating. The simplicity of the video really allows the song to shine so brightly, but also is not remotely boring either. I am dying for the CDs off ebay to arrive, I was absolutely in love with them 10 years ago and losing the albums was a real pain. Since moving to Australia, where nothing gets released at the same time as everyone else - always after, I have really been stumped with finding my runaway CD collection!!!!

I checked out their seperate websites, managed to get a track off their 3rd and 4th albums (which I didn't know existed), rather nice too, one is more electronic based which is interesting....

Nice video, shame about the song........i'm not surprised that I can't remember it off the album.
