I never hear The Music on the radio these days (listen to Radio X, Absolute etc.)

I can't get my head around it. They're one of those bands who came around 10-20 years ago, did loads of good stuff, and then vanished! Got the first album in the car at the moment, and it's truly great. The tracks are so, so, so well put together, and sound very original.

I mean, come on!!:

I seem to remember they were noted for a use of dance-rhythms and composition in an otherwise indie/rock setting. Big things predicted, and now.......nothing. I know they broke up, but they're NEVER on the radio. The only place I've heard one of their tracks was on the Closer To The Edge film about the I.O.M. TT, and I think that might only be because Guy Martin *could* be a fan (saw a picture of him wearing one of their t-shirts once).

Anyway, guess it's more of a rant than anything. Maybe it's just me, and to everyone it all sounds crap. Honestly, I think they were outstanding! Can't figure out why the tracks don't get any airtime. Surely not an embargo or something?
