"Apart from the Passionate Friend there aren't many other tracks that would I describe as singles. There are a few good album tracks like Tiny Children, And The Fighting Takes Over, Great Dominions which scrape this album into a 7...just. Julian Cope is one of the voices that I remember from the e..." [+] Reply
"The Unicorns breakup resulted in the formation of The Islands. The sound is approximately the same, but cleaner and more refined, mature dare-i-say, which results in an album without "Cut Our Hair"'s peaks and mountainous missteps. They genre-hop a bit too, from electronic minor-glitches to hip h..." [+] Reply
