Divine Comedy, eh? Nice. I like a man with taste.
I've heard five of their albums to date, and would probably rate "Casanova" as the best, if only for the amazing closer, "The dogs and the horses". I only got into Hannon's music through Father Ted, and was totally blown away by what I heard. "A short album about love" is an album --- albeit, obviously, a short one --- without a single bad track, and with some real classics. In addition to "Timewatching", as you posted, I'd recommend "If...", "Someone", "I'm all you need" and "If I was you I'd be through with me". Excellent stuff.

"Fin de siecle" is a great album too. I have yet to catch up on his recent releases, but they're on the list. Kudos for being someone else to bring Divine Comedy to people's notice.
