the original was probably my favorite song on Desire, and this is a step up from that

"hopedrunk everasking" is incredible

didn't realize people thought it was filler. i got stuck repeating that one on my first listen through of the album. if that's filler, i can't wait for the rest of the songs to open up with further listens

I would have guessed "Spring Is Coming With a Strawberry in the Mouth" was an original song, but instead it's a cover and a surprisingly faithful one. glad she shone some light on that song, I like her version and the original

yeah I'd never heard that song either, original is so good (so is her cover).

Oh the original is great! Nice discovery!
Also it seems the original was produced by Bono which is… unexpected.

Nice, got into the Operating Theatre song when it got a reissue last year - cool to hear this version.

omg immense tune. Hadn't heard of it.
this page says
the Mother Records label. Established by U2 in 1984 and initially intended to launch Irish bands, many of the acts – including this one – were subsequently unhappy about the label’s haphazard approach to releases and lack of promotion. The record was released as a die cut 7 inch with the two main tracks and a 12 inch EP with additional tracks – ‘Part of My Make-Up’ / ‘Atlantean’ / ‘Satanasa’. The Mother experience was for Doyle and the rest of the group a frustrating one with no promotional plan and no tour. After that Operating Theatre as a quasi pop project ‘just kind of fizzled out’ says Doyle.”
fuck you bono!
