Gene - The Complete B-Sides

I cannot stop listening to Drawn to the Deep End. That's how you describe depression in a song!
 
The first two albums, Olympian and Drawn to the Deep End, are close to perfection in my opinion. The last two, Revelations and Libertine, have their moments but are quite flawed.
 
it's amazing how the verse in 'this is not my crime' sounds like a libertines/babyshambles or razorlight song, but the chorus is definitely 90s, it's more "broad" if that makes sense. i love it.

That is their best song; it is just f***ing brilliant!
Most depressing song EVER but still AMAZING!!!!!!

Love PTxx.

Single version of Olympian for me, then Where Are They Now?

Regarding the latter, I didn't really "get it" until I became that annoying ex over the summer. Suddenly, the words made a LOT of sense.
 
These are great. Never really got much past Olympian with them myself, but that was partially due to an ex-coworker from the UK who HATED them(and evidently grew up with some of them/went to school with some of them or some such). SO in defiance of his questionable taste, I've gone on a bender these past couple of years and procured as much as I can find by the lads. The only Gene I'm unable to track down either in my local (US)shops used bins(Amazons got imports of it) or even as "illegal" downloads is Revelations. Anybody got that one?
 
Speaking of gene......Does anyone know of a song that Martin did with a band called Star 69? They did tour together in 97, and I believe they recorded a song together. Can anyone help??????
