Re: And if you should see Dave cover

Reminded me of 'Hannah' who used to....embellish...many a Hugh gig with her own take on his songs while he was playing them! :x

Re: Dark Matters - Initial Thoughts/Reviews

Looks like going the same way as Giants maybe , euphoria to start then a steady realisation that things may not be so great .....novelty of the new . Not sure about the first part of the sentence, but I quite like the summing up from euphoria to realisation and onwards. The 'novelty of the new' is ...

Re: This Song - Behind The Scenes

I do like the instrumental. I also like Baz singing on the album version. I guess I just like the song.

I hope instrumentals of all of Dark Matters will be available at some point.

Re: Dark Matters - Initial Thoughts/Reviews

I think everyone has said everything that needs to be said. Water - So Stranglers - 9-10 years too late! Like it. This Song - Love most of it. Like Baz on this - His best vocal as a Strangler imho. Hate Davy Jones's locker - Ruins in! Dave - I played this to death a while back in a melancholic mood ...

Oh yes - Sorry. :( But you didn't link it with the new Bond film release! :grin:

Re: This Song

Always thought this was a good song. Its the type of song that I would have liked the Stranglers to have been writing in the last few years. Love the rumbling bass. Always like to listen to Dave's keyboard arpeggios. Don't like the Davy Jones's locker bit - Seems symptomatic of latter day Stranglers...

Re: Britannia

The only redeeming feature!

Can't believe I've watched both series as they were a bit.....odd!

Series 3 just about to come out - I'll probably watch it! :roll:

Re: If something's going to kill me...

And there was me thinking, with the title and all that, that this was about Covid-19? I thought it was a reference to the risk of loved ones passing on the disease and inadvertently infecting and potentially killing older relatives. I thought the 'war' was a reference to the battle to find a cure or...

Re: White Stallion

Only just got to this.....

Difficult to give a proper review with it being in the background and talked over.

Bits of it I thought 'Wow!' and really liked. I fear its going to have a big downside or two though. That operatic bit is bloody awful!

Re: If something's going to kill me...

I've just listened to it several times. For all the hype, its not actually that great. It sounded 'interesting' when on Liz Kershaw, but its a few disjointed ideas stitched (or rather forced) together. A quirky B side at best. P.S. Reading through the comments about who it sounded like, I started to...
