1245.0. "Mazzy Star" by HERO::INNS (Patch Builders of the World Unite !) Mon Sep 26 1994 16:34

    
    Hi,
    
    I recently purchased an album by Mazzy Star called 'So Tonight that I
    might see'. I took a gamble on buying it as I didn`t really know much
    about them  - I had just heard one of there songs... 
    
    I do like the album and I was wondering if anyone knew much about them ?
    e.g. how long they have been playing, how many other albums they have
    done, whether their other albums are similiar in style to the one
    above...
    
    Any info would be greatly appreciated...
    
    Cheers,
    
    Nick

	They've done two albums, their lead singer is extremely gorgeous (that is if it's still that gorgeous woman), and they've been about (that I know of) for about 3 years (?) Don't know much about them either, but they're quite good, and the press are starting to get interested in them.

	In the amazing-coincidence news, I am listening to a tape of that very record right this instant. This tape is a backup copy of a CD owned by Piers rutile::Letcher, and I know he has their first record too, so perhaps he'll tell you more if he finds a moment in his packed schedule. You a bit of a depressive sort, then? This is not party music! Rod
1245.3	My thoughts on the album...	HERO::INNS	Patch Builders of the World Unite !	`Mon Sep 26 1994 19:55`	14
	Well I have to admit to being a depressive sort every now and again... Also I wanted a change - I was bored of most of the music I was listening to - and I wanted a breath of fresh air so to speak... Its certainly a change. I was expecting something along the lines Disintegration by The Cure (especially Plainsong). I suppose they are not too dis-similiar... Although I would say Mazzy Star tends to be a bit slower... I was trying to figure out the lyrics - which is difficult as they are not on the album sleeve and they are not easily deciphered from the song itself.. I guess I'll just have to keep listening... !

	"So Tonight That I Might See" is mazzy Star's latest release -- about a year old. Their first release "She Hangs Brightly" is a better album IMHO. Hope Sandoval is Mazzy Star's lead singer, and she is rather attractive :) cheers, Fred Deady

1245.6	behind the times, I know....	WOTVAX::STONEG	Temperature Drop in Downtime Winterland....	`Fri Sep 22 1995 14:41`	11
	I've been listening to a compilation CD recently which has 'Into Dust' on it. A somewhat haunting track, which I can't stop listening to, is the the rest of their stuff like this ?? If so what's recommended as my first Mazzy Starr purchase ? Graham BTW, Mr Moderator there seem to be two Mazzy Starr notes (814 and this one) and it is 'Starr', not 'Star' as in the title to this note.
