Time flies when you're having fun. "And now it's time to go home..." Except I'm already at home. [/Nyssa] Thanks for the wonderful compilation Mike, I enjoyed it immensely. I just wish I could thank you for it somehow

Saint Etienne1. Nothing Can Stop Us I'd never heard this one before, & my first impression is that it has a breezy, carnival type atmosphere to it. Not a top 40 hit, according to my sources, but it's a very good start (I assume it was one of their first singles)... Looking good so far! Do you know the first time I heard this was the Kylie version (from the Confide In Me single)!

;D I'll tackle Livvy tomorrow, if all goes to plan.
What are your personal fave Saint Etienne songs? My first impression top 5 might look something like this :
1 Who Do You Think You Are 2 Sylvie 3 Pale Movie 4 He's On The Phone 5 You're In A Bad Way

Oh btw the only two tracks that weren't singles on your compilation are "Amateur" and "Shower Scene". Both taken from their last album 'Finisterre'.

I got their Smash The System singles collection. I thought it was quite weak to be honest.
I already knew Sylvie and He's On The Phone which are great. The only other one that stood out was You're In A Bad Way. The singers voice is too slight for me. The Trouser Enthusiasts mix of Sylvie is worth downloading if anyone likes that song.
