[kj] OT: The Superheriones

[Christof hamille]

She was starting the Christian thing on the last big Shadow Project through 
the US.  And their was a uncomfortable tension between the two of them.  He 
was going through some tough withdrawls and she was just converting over.  
So it made for some bitter stage direction that seemed more inward than 
outward.  I liked the first Shadow Project lp quite a bit, still do.  The 
production is awful.. I consider that my last proper "goth" record purchase. 
  The second was so so.  Everything after was filler. There was an ep that 
first basically their first demo and it was jaw dropping good.  # originals 
and 2 covers.  Good stuff if you can find it.
Iron Mask was good.  But it was just re-recordings.  Seemed like an 
obligation in that sense.  The first, original, two recordings are timeless. 
  Classics.  While they were somewhat big at the time they seemed to be too 
early for the times.  Which I guess you can't help.
