Little twisters.......2005-04-02
Excellent collection of strongly observed songs about human stress, set to spare, tough music that draws on dub, funk, and noise. It's missing "Armagh" which is a bit surprising, and "Pretty Boys" which is just a pity, but otherwise a great place to start if you can't lay your hands on the first album "Playing with a different sex" which has been out of print for some time. Buy this before the remastered version of the second album, "Sense and Sensuality"
A must have pre-MTV post-punk collection!.......2003-04-06
Fantastic collection of classic Au Pairs' songs. Among my favs are We're So Cool, Repetition, Come Again, and It's Obvious. A must have CD for those interested in pre-MTV post-punk music.
