5 out of 5 stars A good thing just got better........2007-02-03

The Ugly People -vs- The Beautiful People is one of my all-time favorite CDs. I was, therefore, pleasantly surprised when I learned that there was an unlisted bonus track at the beginning of the CD. No one has mentioned this song here, so I thought I'd pass along the information. To access the song, follow these instructions:

1. Put the CD in your player and press the play button.

2. Press and hold the rewind button as the first song is about to begin (you may need to press pause before you begin rewinding).

3. Rewind to about -3:30 and then release.

The Czars have hidden a decent song at the beginning of this CD, but you'll understand why they hid it once you hear the lyrics. It seems rudimentary when compared to "Drug" or "Lullabye 6000", two of my personal favorite songs ever, but it's still a decent song and worth hearing.

5 out of 5 stars great album.......2005-08-30

This is one of those rare albums that really hit a chord with me emotionally. Its not in the individual details necessarily, but in the overall impression of the album. Disenchanted, yet uplifting, poetry in music, the cover of the album says it all!

4 out of 5 stars Stately..........2002-02-28

Once the Cocteau Twins folded, Simon Raymonde & Robin Guthrie started Bella Union, their own small label. It seems that Simon went on an American holiday, because many of their signings seem to be US bands.

This is one of them. Now, whilst reviewing by comparison may be lazy, it is also one of the best ways to describe something you've never heard.

So, think Neil Young, Tim & Jeff Buckley; skip forward to American Music Club, Red House Painters, Mercury Rev, Spain, Magnetic Fields.

I think you're beginning to understand...
