Anyone care to fill me in on some background details?   Craig Davis Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2004 - 12:18 am:    Here's a link http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:48rn281r05oa~T1   Andrew Hore Posted on Friday, August 20, 2004 - 01:46 pm:    This link is inaccurate. Animals That Swim continued until at least 2001 because I saw them in 2000 and 2001 at the Monarch/Barfly. The line up changed slightly but they put out a third LP which I have but I can't remember the name at the moment. The first time I saw them live (at Shepherds Bush Empire in 1995 or 1996) the singer was still playing drums live. I think he played drums on all the records but in later years when they played live they employed a drummer. I always found that most of their songs took a few listens to get used to probably because the way the lyrics flow isn't like most conventional songs.   Craig Davis Posted on Friday, August 20, 2004 - 11:11 pm:    The third LP was Happiness From A Distant Star.
