I think you guys know I was just kidding. They did have a very unique sound as evidenced by how none of us could really come up with something comparable, even now. That combination of punk and edgy new wave quirkiness and the rough edges, but combined with a good sense of melodicism and great musicianship - hard to compare. That Ghoultown album I mentioned in that thread does have occasional similarities, although they're a bit more rough and ready. And I still think the Braniac/Enon guys have some too.I was heavy into bands like the Blasters and X and Talking Heads and Costello and Graham Parker and so many others at the time, that I didn't really explore WoV. But there's really a lot of sympatico amongst all those guys. Til this day I still only have one WoV LP, and one Stan Ridgway CD. Say I wanted to pick up a WoV CD, are there any decent collections available? Or are the original CDs the only way to go?
