Unfortunately, like a lot of bands I actually don't think Lost Sounds'
best stuff is on their MySpace page, but that stuff is not bad. From
their 1st album -- which I uploaded and put up the URL for in my
previous post -- Lost Sounds gradually morphed more & more into a
Wire/Devo kind of thing and away from the dark, gothier, deathrock, back
metal-influenced sound -- but the first LP, Memphis is Dead, has bits of
it all, with the organs and macabre atmosphere laid on thick, unlike
their later stuff, which tried to have more traditional pop structure.
Even their later stuff isn't horrible, though. But, to me, they started
off great and slowly slid downhill until their breakup in 2005 ...
But, hey, that's just my opinion,
