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:

 

"I really do mean 'shite,' so be warned"

 

But feel free to make your own mind up. My recommend tracks are Thanks for Having Me, For Lyn and Panther.
