The Lotus Eaters made their debut in 1983 with "The Pictures of You" which remained their biggest hit. They released their only album No Sense of Sin in 1984. "Love Still Flows" was one of the outstanding tracks on the album which was not issued as a single. It perfectly displays Lotus Eaters' melancholia and gentleness.
The new Magnetic Fields album is set to be released on 15, January 2008 on Nonesuch Records. The album is already available on amazon.com where you can here samples of the songs.

This year, one of the songs I've been listening to frequently is a cover by the German group And One. Originally recorded by Terry Hall and released in the early 90s, this cover version later became a B-side of the single "Wasted," released by And One around 2000.
