Thanks for ruining what little of that song I liked. Of course I would have done it myself eventually.

I cant believe any of you even know the names of the songs on Siberia.
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

I think next year they should release the 5th anniversary edition with instrumental bonus tracks of the entire album and then do a one time Gulag show in Беломорканал with a Turkic orchestra. They will open for Yakov Smirnoff.

I like Siberia - in fact I just played the CD in my car on the way into work this morning.

Siberia was the great white hope. Hugh Jones producing I was so excited and the samples on the site were of the great parts of the songs.

Like Stormy Weather I think the sample included Will's little squall there. Fool me once shame on me.

so today - according to your info mr brian, is the 14th anniversary of Burned. how did you feel about that? I thought the zephyr ep was really good but the album a bit of a let down, though with some bood bits. as for siberia - lots of good bits but none of them gel into a really good 5 minute song. listened to it today for the first time in ages and had to turn it off for the what if we are part.

Electrafixion was white hot. Sister Pain and Time Bomb still in rotation all these years later.

When I saw Mac solo in 2003 one of his plug ins on stage had Electrafixion written on it in black permanent marker. Gave me a little thrill.
