[kj] OT: Peter Murphy,

[Alexander Smith]

Well, "now" they're good and being defunct (all has gone quiet at Camp 
Cult since the well-intentioned but ultimately bland BEYOND GOOD & EVIL 
album). That said, with the exception of CEREMONY (which is nigh on 
entirely unlistenable to me), I have lots of time for even their 
silliest incarnations (and that handily includes the utterly ridiculous 
but still highly enjoyable ELECTRIC album).

Ian Astbury's cringe-inducing stint with the Doors is another matter 
entirely.
