Bailter Space

[Salman]

I've never heard of this band until today when I saw one of their CD's (Robot World) in the used bin. I noticed that the album was released by Matador and was wondering if they are any good?

Also, I was reading their wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailter_Space) and was wondering if there's some sort of beef Matador had with the band?

[Patrick]

No beef whatsoever.

I gotta disagree with Wikipedia about the Gordons; they were not more angular than Bailter Space. If anything, BS were much more robotic and angular and lost, IMO, the emotional power they had under their first name.

[Dave]

They are more than any good, their records are great. "Robot World" is a fantastic record. You should get it. The Gordons are great too, possibly better than Bailter Space, but no need to take sides really.

[Lukas]

Christchurch really does have a great scene.

they're ok, sound a bit like Oasis with effects pedals

[Miss Tasty Princess]

Either you're trolling or you need to lay off the cough medicine.

[richie-dadofegg]

sorry you've lost me with cybertalk. robotic indeed.

[Ruairi]

Really great, idiosyncratic guitar band. Which is saying a lot.

I guess that is a fine way to, at the very least, revive this thread. However, to quote the brilliant Yukki Gipe, you are DEAD WRONG.

[Patrick]

OK Dave. Points for the Bullet Lavolta reference. I didn't even know you were a fan!

Poll: which is the best Bullet Lavolta song?

a. Overloaded Circuits
b. X-Fire

These are the only two choices.

[whitesnake]

I'll vote for b. 'X-Fire', only because I don't recognize 'Overloaded Circuits'
by title alone, but I can hear 'X-Fire' in my head just at the mere mention of the name of the song. Great, great band.....
