This little web site contains the archive of
the Arab Strap album called "Coming Down", of which only 5 copies were made and
given to close friends of the group. Due to the kindness of strangers and the
Internet you too can hear the tracks.
The Great Lost Arab Strap Album?
No, not really.
Aidan Moffat:
"It's Arab Strap by name only - Malcolm
wasn't involved at the time, but we decided to use the name because we couldn't think
of anything better."
It
features:
Aidan
Moffat: Vocals and Drums
Jason
Taylor: Guitars
Stuart
Dick: bass, melodica and vocals
It is any good? Well, Aidan doesn't seem
to think so:
But feel free to make
your own mind up. My recommend tracks are Thanks for Having Me, For Lyn and
Panther.
