Well, it's a fan site and fan is short for fanatic, and fanatics are the most motivated? Works in politics and among music lovers (haters?). I tend to be an extreme omnivore and get crossed up with the more 'pure' fans, so I'm ultimately in for everything and not just a narrow part of something.

Unfortunately because there is so much wonderful variety with this group/name I find it harder to compete one part off against other parts! I value Kiln House, and Future Games, and Bare Trees, and Penguin, and all of it... the later collections of BBC and Chess studios and radio station sets... okay, I could live without the For Your Love and Roadrunner covers (album filler), but that's about it. I would say they just don't really bring anything much to those two particular numbers.

Future games and Bare Trees do have a sort of early '70s 'concept' feel to them for me that makes them more 'albums' than collections of tracks. The whole hangs together nicely.
