>     Mew are great! I saw them supporting Martin Grech a few years ago,

>     and their show, even in stupidly small venues, was hypnotic. They

>     projected weird computer animations over themselves, and are much

>     harder live, despite the disconcertingly high vocals. I recommend

>     their second Danish album “Half The World Is Watching Me”, as

>     it features stronger versions of several songs from

>     “Frengers”, particularly “156”, “Am I Wry? No” and

>     “Comforting Sounds”. “A Triumph For Man”, their limited

>     and hitherto stupidly hard to find first album (I stopped looking

>     when the one that turned up on ebay a year ago topped £200), has

>     recently been reissued in Scandanavian countries as a 2-disc set,

>     which is nice, although the album is more twee than what follows,

>     with nonsense about pandas and balloons. Very eccentric song

>     structures, though, of which I approve.

>     I’m interested by the fact that people, including me, tend to

>     regard the baseline of their appreciation of a band as the first

>     recording they connected with. I heard “Half The World…”

>     first, and so that is the benchmark for me. “Glass Handed

>     Kites”, despite featuring one of the worst album covers I've

>     ever seen ( *http://tinyurl.com/34fmqu *- I think some people

>     should be banned from using Photoshop), is wildly prog, and no

>     worse for that – it certainly repays the effort of the first few

>     listens. The leap of faith I have to make with Mew is overcoming

>     my aversion to very high male vocals (it shows how shallow I am in

>     that if the exact same album were released and I were led to

>     believe the vocals were female, my attitude would be totally

>     different – I blame the corrupting influence of Pinky and

>     Perky), but they warrant the effort, in my view. When talking with

>     Jonas, the singer, I was startled to find that his speaking voice

>     is normally pitched – I had expected Tiny Tim. Mew were adopted

>     by REM, whom they supported many times on legs of world tours, and

>     I /really/ dislike REM, but can’t blame Mew for that!
