    transplant! such a nice person had to be an eels fan!

    So, is it already out? Damn work that has made my mind be in some other place!
    Gotta get this asap!
    Luckily a coworker will go on a biz trip to Orlando next saturday, I should be asking him to bring me this stuff!!
    Thanks for reminding me!!

    I got it the other day and its pretty good I guess. My problem with it is some of the best songs from Blinking Lights aren't even played. There is no From Which I Came/ A Magic World or To Lick Your Boots. The sound from the strings is beautiful but overall I think its a bit too low key. Electro-Shock Blues Show is so much better as a live recording.

    I think it came out Tuesday. A Co-worker popped into my office and asked if I had it. He had a copy so I am now here going thru the 4th spin and just digging the hell out of it. So I'd say do what you have to in order to get it.

    I was a little late to the Eels game, I hated them years back when Electro-Shock came out, I really need to revisit. I am a sucker for bands who lay it all out with an orchestra-type backing. I think they complement the songs very well.

    My favorite tunes from Blinking Lights happen to be here, Trouble With Dreams, Suicide Life, Railroad Man.. though I noticed they have a DVD out with more tracks from the show. that pisses me off. Make it a double CD if you have to. I want the whole show.

    I'll have to put the Electro-Shock Blues Show on my check-out list.

    All due respect Mr. Transplant but: WTF? GET YOUR ASS OUT RIGHT NOW AND GET ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES!!!
    Really, mate, is awesome, that was the first eels records I got -when they came out, dunno why, but Novocaine for the Soul didn't stricked me at all- and got immediatly hooked. Now I'm a big, big fan of theirs. I can hook you up with the Electro Shock Blues Show recording the other poster talked about, and other live things, but first youy gotta get that album, man, nothing short than awesome... one of the greatest to come out from the 90's. E is a friggin' genius and there's no discussion to that.

    On the other hand, I don't have problem with getting the cd and the dvd, I really was in need of an eels live dvd since so long.
    And just to conclude, I share your fascination with the orchestral things -when it's well done, when not, I hate it, read Metallica's one-, so let me share you my latest album on this vein: Ian Hunter - Strings Attached, is the only thing by him I have right now but is beautiful and impressive.

    All I can do is strongly urge you to give Electro-Shock Blues another chance first. Not the live show (which is also superb ) but the studio album. If you already know this I apologize but E recorded that album immediately following the death of his mother to cancer and his sister to suicide. Needless to say he pours his heart into it and the end result is nothing short of brilliant. I don't think its an exageration to call it one of the very best albums of the late 90's...Oh and you're right. The seperate DVD with more tracks is a weak way to package this thing. I'm still debating about whether or not to get it.

    Really, I can't believe someone with such a good musical taste as you doesn't own this album.
