Advantages: deeply moving

Disadvantages: none as yet

For those of a Doves persuasion I would make you this one declaration. Get to see them live. The Lost Souls Lp will surely be the album of 2000 but having witnessed the live set at the cockpit in Leeds a couple of months back, the LP captures none of the intensity or soul of the band.

What struck me too was the amazing versatility of the band. In between the song lead singers playing guitars became drummers became bass players. At no point did you feel there was a change in drive or vibe.

IT is to be hoped that at this years festivals the same brooding intensity can be replicated. They will be sure to pick up where the poppy Travis and limited Oasis seem to be losing faith and following.

What the hell is wrong with you? Yes, Doves are a simply amazing band, but have you actualy never heard of band members playing different instruments? (even Coldplay, one of your mentioned bands, do it!) Lastly - what's wrong with Oasis and Travis? Neither of whom are losing faith, nor following, as you so stupidly put it!!!

It might be worth adding some info for those of us not yet 'of the Doves persuasion' who are now intrigued. :-)

This review would be even more useful if you described their style and sound to those who are not familiar with them but open to interest. - TK
