Hard to believe, I first got this CD 12 years ago yesterday, 6/9/94. I remember going into Record Theatre and looking in The Church bin to see if they happened to have a new CD out yet (don't forget, this was before I had the internet to tell me of forthcoming new Church CDs), and found it. I was so excited and bought it immediately. Oddly enough, that same day, I bought the first A Flock of Seagulls CD (this was a strange time in my life, musically - I was going through depression in 1994, and found myself listening to a lot of bands from my childhood, to bring back memories of happier times. I had a fling with A Flock of Seagulls and Thompson Twins early that year, and was buying up their back catalogue as I could. I remember finding most of the Thompson Twins CDs in the budget bin for about $4.99 a piece, so I lucked out. All of their CDs are now out of print, and the originals sell for a good price on Ebay. But back to Sometime Anywhere...) Anyway, as I said in a previous post, I had no idea there was a limited edition version with Somewhere Else. I was really expecting another Priest=Aura, and was disappointed with this CD at first, but it grew on me. It ended up becoming my favorite CD for the next few months, as every new Church CD does. Got me through some tough times in my life that year, and gave me hope. 12 years later, I have both the bonus disc version (which I bought in 1995) and the remastered version from 2005. Still like to give this one the occasional spin. "Two Places at Once" is still a personal favorite, and I always liked Marty's "Fly Home". I noticed there is still some degree of P=A effects on songs like "Day of the Dead", and "Lost My Touch", and especially on "The Time Being". Another favorite is "The Dead Man's Dream". Still can't get myself to like "Angelica" or "The Maven", not even 12 years later, but the rest of the CD, great!
