last night i was watching an Irish comedy on TV (Small Engine Repair). what really got me was the music by a band called Willard Grant Conspiracy which i haven't heard of before. there is no official soundtrack so i did a bit of searching a found some albums (not all of them).



here's a youtube clip of a song featured in the movie. sad but really beautiful:



The Suffering Song is to be found on the Album Regard The End

found this one as a near dead torrent, working on the last 2 missing albums, this is getting increasingly tougher now

increasingly tougher was an understatement, what's missing seems to be like gold dust

so if anyone knows where to find to the following, it would be highly appreciated.

3am Sunday @ Fortune Otto's (1996)

Weevils In The Captain's Biscuit (1998)

and then there is a recording of a radio session:

In the Fishtank #8 (2001)

Thanks, new band for me. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck with the missing albums either.

Shel

as i said, i haven't heard of them either until last Sunday. i really like the voice of lead singer Robert Fisher

wow!! At last someone discovering what a extraordinary band WGC are!!

and you are dead right!: Fisher's voice is wonderful and something which ressonates deep inside me

I have most of their CDs, but now I'm wondering if the Bear Witness you posted is the CD or the DVD?

The DVD contains the complete gig of the Rockpalast Crossroads show in Bonn, plus outtakes and an interview with Robert Fisher. Adds some footage from the Orange Blossom Special #9 (2005), a 12-page booklet and a Radio Bremen radio-session (on CD)



anyway, I have none of them... I'm already downloading

and big thanks for this thread!!



EDIT:

forget to say that I have the Captain's Biscuit one (and I'm almost sure I also have the Otto one, but not listening to those older cds for some time I may be in error... I'll look for the cdlater)... I made a rar file with the Biscuit one, it's 60MB, I'll try to upload it during the weekend, as I'm now downloading "your" Bear witness

... and I just noticed that the Bear Witness CD must be the same I have with a different name:

WGC at RockPalast - Crossroads

so, I need the DVD now!!


Re-EDIT:

well, now I'm confused, I've downloaded "your" Bear Witness, which should be the Rockpalast show, but "my" rockpalast is a diferent one, the songs are not the same... I got mine some five years ago coming inside some italian music magazine!! I'll have to investigate this, I thought I new all their CDs

sorry, i should have specified this in the original post, the Bear Witness download is only the bonus CD (the RB radio session), not the DVD. mea culpa.

no, don't need to apologize, it's easy to see by the size of the file that it was not the dvd
what I was saying was that I own a cd (bought a lot of years ago) supposedly with that same show but in fact they are different (I downloaded "yours" and heard it already, btw, it's excellent - I'm going to buy the dvd version from glitterhouse soon )
