	Catatonia "Equally Cursed And Blessed"
		Thankfully, Catatonia, a band which hails from this area, may just be talented enough to be adequate compensation.
		Catatonia's music usually requires somewhat of an acquired taste due to its untraditional style, however, this taste can be acquired after merely one listening of their third album, Equally Cursed And Blessed.
		Although the band's noncommittal position to either makes it difficult for them to find a niche on American radio, it makes their album stand out against much of the homogeneous sludge that has lately besieged the music industry.

		The legend that Catatonia was formed when Mark met Cerys while she was busking outside a Specsavers in Cardiff, is not true, although it has some truth in it.

		But the band didn't become a quartet, as former Y Crumblowers, Colour 45 and The Family guitarist Owen Powell was added to the group, to make up for Cerys no longer playing guitaer.

		The band's fourth album isn't well represented on the first disc due to the fact that the only single released was Stone By Stone, which unfortunately only scraped into the British top 20.
		Quite simply, Catatonia were one of the most interesting and diverse bands of the British indie scene of the 90's, and it's a shame to see them go, but with Cerys's solo album being released soon maybe it's not goodbye after all.
		Before the band split, they released four albums, of which the middle two (International velvet, Equally cursed and blessed) were the most successful.

		Catatonia, a band she naively named after reading Aldous Huxley's Doors Of Perception thinking the name meant a euphoric state instead of the direct opposite, clawed their way up from the indie gutter, playing the toilet circuit and building a loyal fan base attracted by the charismatic Cerys and that voice.
		The band could write great songs but they seemed fated to being one of the groups that fitted in nowhere, another washed up talent in the UK's fashion driven music scene.

		I know that in Europe and the UK, Catatonia was one of the more famous bands, but in the United States they are sadly unheard of, as is the case with many bands that originate from Europe (I had to get "Paper Scissors Stone" off of Amazon because I could not find it anywhere locally).
		The accompanying band members also do a great job, changing their sound each track, making each one unique and fun to listen to.
		It is unfortunate that the band's internal conflicts led to the break up, but Catatonia has undoubtedly made a mark on the music industry.

	From the top of the pops to Tennessee - Thursday, 04/24/03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As lead singer of pop band Catatonia, she was among Great Britain's greatest commercial music successes of the late 1990s, and her short-lived ''Queen of Pop'' title didn't come without loss of privacy or heights of excess and anxiety.
		The British media reported that her exit from Catatonia in 2001 was accompanied by treatment for exhaustion.
		Like mushy peas and blood pudding, Catatonia's popularity didn't extend to the United States, which is one reason why Bucky Baxter's Three Trees studio in the countryside north of Nashville seemed to Matthews an attractive place to record her solo debut album, Cockahoop.
