dammit if I had actually voted and if Lex had voted, Portishead would have won

they'll just have to be content with winning the actual original list!

This was the first Moonshake track I heard:

Though discogs doesn't seem to list it as part of Eva Luna, when I thought it was.

But then you have something like Two Trains, which is totally different.

Secondhand Clothes is totally on the version of Eva Luna that I have; which is I think the Matador Records reissue. It has that whole EP

um OK that Two Trains song is amazing; is that what Laika sounds like? I figured it was more in the "Bleach & Salt Water"/"Little Thing" vein

I remember Laika as being a bit more mellow than 'Two Trains' and its frenetic (almost d'n'b?) rhythms, but yeah, that's definitely the side of Moonshake that pointed towards Laika's output.
