Advantages: A lot of good tracks with different moods Disadvantages: A few tracks where the vocals aren't quite clear enough
was pretty AND talented, a rather awesome package in just 1 person.
If you didn't like redheads there was Emma Anderson - she of the dark haired persuasion, also singing & playing guitar and owning a pair of legs that go right up to her neck as well writing some of the songs into the bargain. And if you don't like girls there was always the rather gothic Phil King on bass or the sadly now deceased Chris Acland providing rather awesome drums that melded together the very different sound palette that was Lush.
So the band had something for everyone, be you boy, girl or small fluffy creature from Alpha Centuri (I think Miki had them covered). Split was their 2nd album release arriving in June of 1994, all songs were either written by Miki or Emma apart from Starlust which was a joint effort.
So whats on Split then?

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Split - Lush
Advantages: Performances excellent, as is the dialogue Disadvantages: Plot is convoluted and confusing
From the outset let me just be clear - this film is bafflingly confusing but wonderful at the same time. Plot explanations would be long winded and confused. In a nut shell: the film is based on a Raymond Chandler Philip Marlowe novel. Humphrey Bogart plays the cynical private eye Philip Marlowe and is hired by General Sternwood Marlowe to investigate a blackmail plot on his naive childlike daughter Carmen (Martha Vickers). Marlowe encounters Carmen?s protective sister Vivian (Lauren Bacall) and gets mixed up in various complications along the way including a murder of a dealer in pornography.
The plot is generally confusing owing to many editorial cuts when released to emphasise Bacall's part. this doesn't really overshadow what is a great film noir as the performances and chemistry from Bogart and Bacall are electric. I can't think ...
