Should have been bigger?... Playing again?

Great site, Cable...a fantastic band, one of three cruelly underrated bands from around that time that really didn't get the recognition they deserved. The other two?......Compulsion and Done Lying Down, anyone agree/disagree? Done Lying Down were 'avin it again at the Bull and Gate a couple of months ago, after nine years away, please Cable........follow their lead.

Ahoy, Mogwai!

I totally agree, Cable should have been massive (also, they should reform!).

I did check out Compulsion's 'Future is Medium' because of rave reviews and a lot of people saying that they were underrated and whatever and I've gotta say that I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was that great.  Don't get me wrong, Future is Medium wasn't bad at all, just not as good as the hype had me believe. Having said that, I'm gonna go put Future is Medium on now and have another listen!  Maybe I started in the wrong place with Future is Medium?  Do you recommend any of Compulsion's other stuff?

As for Done Lying Down, I've never heard of them so I will go and check them out and report back!

I would like to add to your list of cruelly underrated bands, if I may, China Drum (later 'The Drum').  Their first two albums were good, solid power-pop, but their last album ('Diskin') was a masterpiece which should have brought them much fame!

Thanks, dude,

I remember seeing china drum when they were on tour with cable, i quite liked them.  I remember hearing that china drum were huge in countries like Germany, playing huge venues over there.

Ahoy!

So China Drum were big in Germany?  I never knew that!  Well maybe they did get the fame they deserved - just not in this country! 

If anyone wants to get into China Drum, get their first two albums (Goosefair and Self Made Maniac) before you get Diskin because Diskin is pretty different to their earlier sound.  I thoroughly recommend Diskin, though - a proper classic album (in my humble opinion, of course)!

Thanks,
