The Europeans know it....
"Album of the year" DER STANDARD
"Beck would sell his grandma for this album. Jimi Tenor will become gay because of envy" SPEX
"Stephen Merritt will become immortal with this triple box full of Love Songs" MUSIKEXPRESS
and we Australians know it...
"Their triple (yes, triple) album, 69 Love Songs, is quite simply an extraordinary achievement." SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
"And what an album. Perhaps the most astonishing collection of songs in memory. Three CDs, 172 inescapably riveting, glorious, dinky, daft, grand, sad, mellow, happy, sparkling, silly, twisted, dark, light, satirical, ragged, ridiculous, addictive, embarrassing, poignant, funny minutes of music" REVOLVER
After releasing 69 Love Songs, one of the most internationally acclaimed albums of the year, Stephin Merritt brought his band THE MAGNETIC FIELDS to Australia for the first time for a limited number of showcase performances.
With all the live reviews from overseas also drooling over the live talent of this wonderfully lovesick quartet this tour was be a luscious treat indeed...yes...a gem in the sandy desert of the Australian touring circuit in 2001.
