Based on these comments, I feel like those that do know them are lukewarm on them, and I'm the same. Echorich nailed it, as usual. I do like hearing about Jack Frost though... Don't have that one but sounds wonderful. Thanks for participating.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-28207054550720490622016-06-19T08:44:28.922-04:002016-06-19T08:44:28.922-04:00There were no hits in the UK for The Church as far...There were no hits in the UK for The Church as far as I remember and I definitely don't recognise 'Under the Milky Way'. I did, however, have a couple of hardcore fans as customers, for whom I had to ensure I ordered every release on every format. I do own the excellent first Jack Frost album - I've no idea why I don't have the second.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-4106368009188854282016-06-18T05:27:59.136-04:002016-06-18T05:27:59.136-04:00Got a great acoustic compilation by them but never...Got a great acoustic compilation by them but never really warmed to the LPs always seemed to have a couple of great tracks but a lot that passed me by .

They got played with regularity before and after Under The Milky Way on NY's New Wave/Alternative/Modern Rock station (s) but I think they always felt a bit lost for a place to land musically. Aussie/Kiwi bands can have a uphill battle "competing" with Brit and American bands, and the ones that are the most successful, ie. INXS, Split Enz, Icehouse, take a specific direction that finds appeal among listeners outside their homeland. The Church could sound American and psychedelic or British and post-punk, but then never really fit. Maybe doing things their way is why they have such a long history, but it may also be why they never really sustained any breakthrough.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-86650249558858382142016-06-17T05:35:33.854-04:002016-06-17T05:35:33.854-04:00Reptile's B-Side, 'Texas Moon' is such...Reptile's B-Side, 'Texas Moon' is such a FABULOUS song, in fact I prefer it to 'Reptile' and 'Milky Way' 24 hours a day!!!Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907703583893968857noreply@blogger.com
