ISOBEL CAMPBELL, CANTALOOP

Gary Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> speaketh about ISOBEL CAMPBELL:

ISOBEL CAMPBELL is formerly a member of BELLE AND SEBASTIAN and the driving force 
behind the group THE GENTLE WAVES (a B&S offshoot band). this is her first solo album. 
i have been less and less interested in B&S as a whole and their various off shoot 
projects like LOOPER (first album had two decent songs on it, their second album was 
kind of a dud and i didn't bother with their third album), THE GENTLE WAVES (first 
album was rather bland, i never bothered with the followup) and now a proper solo 
album for ISOBEL CAMPBELL. but your comments have certainly renewed my interest a bit. 
i shall have to give the GENTLE WAVES first album another listen to. and perhaps check 
out some of her latest release.

i would definitely recommend checking out THE GENTLE WAVES if you like her solo album 
though. she was the creative force behind that group (her input on BELLE AND SEBASTIAN 
songs i think was pretty minimal).

METH speaketh about instrumental songs:

was that the song by US3? released around 1993, i think it was called CANTALOOP (FLIP 
FANTASIA) but i can't remember if it was an instrumental or not. it was a jazzy hip 
hop sort of song if memory serves me correctly. sort of in the same vein as PM DAWN, 
GURU's JAZZAMATAZZ, and DIGABLE PLANETS.
