I really love all the band incarnations from Kiln House to Heroes Are Hard to Find. All of those albums are gems to me...and it's been great to finally hear the various bootlegs from those eras...lots of rare songs and non-album tracks!!! Though Penguin has some great songs on it, David Walker was such an egregious misstep!
The Future Games/Bare Trees band is, in my opinion, one of the best incarnations. At least they had the consistency and stability to eek out two albums together.
Mystery To Me is probably the strongest album of the six. What irks me most about this period is that, to my knowledge, they cut the tour short because of the drama of Bob Weston sleeping with Mick's wife. Perhaps this is why there seems to be no documentation i.e. bootlegs from this band. The irony of that is, with such a strong album and line-up, I'm sure they must have turned out some amazing live performances. Alas, will we ever hear them? Who's keeping these shows unwrapped???
