On the contrary,I believe the Icicle Works to be origins of groups like
Coldplay and even Keane-that type of pop.Yes there is some bombastic stuff
there.But they had a few great pop tunes.I could be wrong but I think one of
the members is still around today recording solo.Name escapes me .
All my Icicle works are on vinyl ,and my turnatable is in service now.I'll
have to make a note to spin them soon.
