Interview: Building The Perfect Myth with Steve Kilbey
Steve Kilbey has been a member of The Church ever since the band first formed in Sydney in 1980. Lately he’s been recording and touring with Ricky Maymi, guitarist with The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The two have been working on a project called The Wilderness Years, an album of songs based upon a very obscure, and possibly non-existent, musician from the early 1970s named David Neil. Kilbey and Maymi will bring their live show to New Zealand later this month. In the mean time, listen in as The 13th Floor tries to unravel the mystery of David Neil.

Mr. Kilbey,
What an extrordinary man! His side projects are as interesting and as eclectic as the Church have been all these years. Check out GB3, Martin Kennedy, Jack Frost, and of course his solo stuff. I’ts all great!
Keep up the brilliant work Steve!!

Five HUGE stars for this spectacular CD.
I first got into Bob Marley in 1984 when I bought “Legend” on cassette (remember those…lol).
I wore out 2 copies within a year.
When I finally got a CD player, one of the 1st CD’s I purchased was “Legend:Bob Marley & Wailers”.
Unfortunatly it didn’t contain some versions of some of the songs I first heard & loved, including MY favorite version of “Buffalo Soldier”.
I looked for YEARS for these versions, & always came up empty.
When I found this gem I immediately bought it, & have been playing it, & downloaded it into my iPod.
This is one of the best CD’s of all time IMO.
It contains ALL of the remixed versions from the original US copy of “Legend:Bob Marley & Wailers”.
Those are : “Buffalo Soldier”, “Jamming”, “Waiting In Vain”, & “Exodus”.
The rest of this CD (along with the regular CD version of “Legend:Bob Marley & Wailers”), is the best way for 1st time listeners of Bob Marley, to love his music as the rest of us who already know what a genius this man was.
A great CD at a great price.
A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTION!
