first time i heard them was in highschool....was watching videos with my older brother when 'love cats' came on...we both looked at each other and said something along the lines of 'that's some pretty gay shit going on there'....or words to that effect....
fastforward to about 1997, and i was working at a software company in Toronto, when the creative director said it would be a cool idea for all of us to start bringing in cd's that we thought everyone should hear, everyone gets to be a dj for the day...play all the shit that you think everyone should be into, sorta vibe...
since he was CD, he got first dibs and through on Disintegration...blew my fucking mind...right from the first track of Plain song.....couldn't believe i'd never given this band a fair listen...in all fairness, i played the next day and hipped everyone to Cocteau Twins..which i hope shows that i wasn't a complete musical retard ;)
my older brother (god help him) took a long time to convince...he is more of the metallica/megadeth set (which i was as well at the age of 14 or so) but when i played him 'Burn' from the crow soundtrack, he got on board fairly quickly....'i thought those guys were just a pack of poofs that liked to prance around singing about their cats and shit' was what he said at the time i believe... lol....the 'burn' song helped him reevaluate things a bit :)
