...tour (any augur could have seen where such a pairing would lead). So I heard no more from my little forest nymphs. Black Francis changed his name again and again and put out a mediocre album. Kim Deal joined up with her twin sister and started making rather uninspired pop. Until...

"So Long Suicide," "Michael You've Got a Lot ot Answer For" and the questionably titled "Undergoing Treatment" seem to delve into a musical "mathmos" so reminescent of the movie whence the Durans sprung...
