The Umbrella CD has been my favorite ever since it was released. I'm hedging my bets that it will remain my favorite album until the day I die. Beginning the World...for me explains my adult existance. The song Every Hour Here is to me the epitomy of great songwriting and would be my final words to my friends and family. I don't believe there will ever be an album as beautiful and let me tell you, I hold all of their albums dear to my heart.

But I too will continue to yurn for more drums, and the hope that Steve will return at some point in the future. I certainly wish him all the best no matter what he decides to do, but at the same time I believe the drums allow the band to shine through a little more. A little less shy. fragile and reserved if you will. When I see them live these days, I always get the feeling their are holding back and are a bit more selfconscious. I believe Steve allowed them to open up more during their performances.

That's funny, I recently got "Umbrella" and am loving it, it hasn't left the
Stereo in over a month. It is quite different though, a lot more
Sundays/Cocteau Twins sounding than anything they released since Birds of my
Neighborhood. I can see how fans from the early days like Cliff & Andy would
miss that sound. It's dated but really good regardless. "Sorry & Sad Together"
and "Revolving Man"... hmm-hmm :-)

Quoting cliff holt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I got mine last month and have enjoyed it very much. It's very stripped down - more so than Christ Is My Hope & Befriended - yet, that how a lullaby should be I suppose.

Maybe in my dreams they will revisit Umbrella and make a full on pop/record someday.
