Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 8
I listened dutifully to A , but it was never really going to beat B, because it's a 90s favourite of mine.

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 8
The playing on A is wonderful, I could vote for it for the drumming alone. Talk Talk at their most immersive. Wonderful.
At the time I thought of Dubstar as the cut price Saint Etienne and they still sound like that to me. It has that flat, detached quality that music began to have in the 90s, but it's an okay song and I would have voted for it in other ties blah blah.

A, naturally. I mean, Laughing Stock is my favorite album from the 1990s.

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 8
They both just sort of sit there to my ears, but A almost sorta engages me for a second or two.

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 8
Eh... A is great but it's the Elliott Smith issue once again, it's a very obvious and well-established (and deservedly so) choice. But B, while okay, doesn't really convince me it's worth the vote over the former. So I guess it's A, as dirty as it makes me feel.

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 8
I've always appreciated the artistry and beauty of Talk Talk without ever being fully captivated or gripped, but B is a bit naff really. An unwelcome reminder of the era of The Best... Shed Seven Echobelly Northern Uproar Right Said Fred Bob Carolgees in the World... Ever! and Shine 285.

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 8
A real unfortunate pairing, this...
I love Talk Talk's organic groove a lot!
But I'll still vote for the cool and irresistible tunefulness of Dubstar's greatest hit.

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 8
I was never taken with Dubstar, the fag end of Britpop threw out acres of copyists and this reminds me of all that, Baby Bird, Space, that stuff. It’s lumpen and, ironically, resolutely earthbound. The atmospheric groove that Talk Talk conjure is the star here.
