Whoa, never thought of it lke that, I always thought they were our "MBV".

Anyone know if they still live in New York?

I saw a Rapeman / Flour show where Steve got under the stage and 'adjusted' the pre amplifier of the house PA so the vocals would enough to be heard over the insane stage volume of the amplifiers.

Bailter Space were WAY louder. Internal-organ-flutteringly loud.

Same structure for every droning song.
But so good.

Same fucking drum fills before every change.

Still good.

Drummer triggering fucking guitar chord samples on a drum pad.

And yet, so good.

Really silly lyrics.

And yet, still so good.

Not crap.

It saddens me that every used copy I see of the Robot World CD gets filed under "Electronic" just because of the album art.

Consistently overlooked. Consistenly great.

NOT CRAP.

And what does this silly word bailter mean anyway?

Hmmm, I have no idea.

A band i never quite got at the time. I had an ex who would have died for this band. This woman is now a lesbian, rock climber who doesn't listen to any music whatsoever.

We have most of the albums used at the store. i've been throwing them on for last couple a months. I was a dumb kid who was missing out on a great band.

Not cRap.

Way not crap. Robot World especially.

I like that song "The Sun". It's very lazy and dreamy. I like to listen to it while I run. Lazily.

Good band. NOT CRAP.

I don't know anything about this band, but I love the Gordons. Can anyone post some hard to find Bailter tunes on the EA gmail account??

NOT CRAP.

The song "SHINE" off the 7" they released on Clawfist records is probably my favourite song of all time, it's 90's sonic noise with elements of 80's new wave lost somewhere deep in the mix. Invokes some sort of nostalgic feeling that I can't quite place every time I hear it. Everything up to and including Robot World is also brilliant.

I once asked Alister what Bailter Space meant, and he said it didn't have any meaning. Nice guys, all of them.
