I was the Product Manager at RED (Sony) for this release when it first came out - PIAS America was one of our labels, they had a staff of one - so I got to be very involved. I couldn't not buy it just to hear the demos & live versions. Their music (& videos - check them out) is always stunning. Their first American performance was at Irving Plaza, just after the album's release here. Their last NYC play in the album cycle? Radio City Music Hall! That's how quickly their music was discovered & embraced! Almost all word of mouth. Radio didn't care. They refused to make videos back then. Press was eh. Listening stations, lifestyle marketing & their live shows drove it. A great band - totally worthy of their success...
