I listened to them nonstop in high school and was so glad to get them on digital. It was like running into a new friend again. I hadn't heard the b-sides, so that was a nice surprise too. Thanks for being so generous. You made one fan very happy!Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13041442850901857338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-18912268089330987402009-01-12T19:45:00.000-05:002009-01-12T19:45:00.000-05:00You are simply wonderful. I listen to XM Radio online and often have it tuned to 1st Wave. Richard Blade is one of the hosts and I listened to him for years on KROQ (graduated high school in 1983). I've always thought, why the heck doesn't he play some Slow Children?! SPECIFICALLY Vanessa Vascillating. I decided to to to YouTube and just rummage up an old video. Yep - no luck. I HAVE the LP of Mad About Town and thought I'd never again hear any Slow Children. Then I somehow found your blog and found your generous download. I absolutely can't thank you enough.

Have the first album on vinyl but have tried to find CD/digital versions. Brings back a lot of memories. A very under-rated group. Sounds as good today as it did 25 years ago on KROQ!

You don't know how long I've been looking for this! Slow Children was one of my all time favorite groups, and they've faded almost without a trace. Pal Shazar has gone on to record many other great stuff, but I've really been missing this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!James Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00278628443972661138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-1159748233852311652006-10-01T20:17:00.000-04:002006-10-01T20:17:00.000-04:00I can't thank you enough for taking the time to upload this. Long story long, I was in school in Texas in the early 80s, spending the majority of my time going to clubs/concerts and listening to as much music as I could get my hands on. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine was dating a girl whose brother had an incredible stereo system (I can still picture the Nakamichi Dragon and Denon Turntable in my head) as well as a great collection of albums. I gave my friend as many blank tapes as I could gather up at the time (maybe 5) and asked him to record as much as he could. He was able to copy three albums before he was caught and banned from touching the stereo again. He didn't write the names of the albums down but I really didn't care as it was just "some great music". At one point another friend recognized one of the songs playing in my car ("President Am I" I believe) and mentioned the name of the group but overtime I forgot it. Eventually someone broke into my car for the umteenth time (a regular occurance in Dallas/Deep Ellum) and helped themselves to my stereo and tapes and books and everything else I swore I would never leave in my car again, the last time it happened. Soon those tapes were replaced with other music and life moved on, sort of... <BR/><BR/>One song that never quite got out of my head was "Late Night Transatlantic". Something about that song (or many "things" after a few drinks) really appealed to me and the tune would continue to pop into my head long after I left college (20+ years). <BR/><BR/>Finally about 6 months ago I decided to make a passive attempt at finding out who it was and buy a copy of the album. I figured I could remember some of the lyrics but unfortunately no one had posted them (why would they?) on Google. As my obsession with the song grew, I started doing more and more research on Google. Eventually I found Wikipedia's excellent listing of just about every album put out, categorized by year. Starting with 1980, if I didn't recognize the album, I would click on it and try to find an audio clip. This took me a couple of weeks as I would check every album out. I finally made it to Slow Children (1981) and found a clip of "Staring At The Ceiling" and immediately recognized the bass and singer's voice. A wave of relief came over me. A little more research helped me find that the album I had had was "Mad About Town". <BR/><BR/>I suppose I should really consider myself lucky as I stumbled across your site the same day (today) that I discovered the name of the group with a simple google search. Had you not posted all of the songs from their two albums, I'm not sure what I would have done as I now see that it hasn't been reissued on CD and the album is no longer available. I have been down that road many many times and I didn't feel like going down it yet another time only to find a dead end. <BR/><BR/>To say Thanks is putting it very lightly, but thanks!Anyone2unoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-1157929342761847212006-09-10T19:02:00.000-04:002006-09-10T19:02:00.000-04:00After a long time looking for these songs.... this brings tears.Curtisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-1157500725355728832006-09-05T19:58:00.000-04:002006-09-05T19:58:00.000-04:00I wanted to thank you for taking the time to create this excellent collection. I also purchased a CDR (from another source) of the British version of "President Am I?" (slightly different from the US version, which is represented here) and the extended remixes of "Vanessa Vacillating" and "Unplugging the Vacuum", which are also great. Slow Children just define "Quirky" and also define what New Wave was REALLY all about. (Sorry folks, ABC, as much as I like them, are NOT New Wave!)
