Re: Interview - npr
NPR is national public radio in the US (I'm in Dead LA). I listen to it a lot. It's good for news and current affairs. Bit like BBC 4. About 4 years ago, I was having tea in the morning, sitting here on the West Coast and they cut to the local news, then go back to the National programme by plugging...

Re: Dark Matters - Initial Thoughts/Reviews
OK, checking in from Dead Los Angeles. I really like Water (great production, build, like a swirling sea of drama and DG is splendid here) This Song (just a lovely bright Stranglers pop song; DG once again - the church organ just lovely - poptastic like a Barbara or a She's Slipping Away, or Duchess...

Re: Dark Matters - Initial Thoughts/Reviews
I love 'No Man's Land' - that bass - cor! - wish the song had a few more instrumental mental bits. It could be longer and incredible. Keep thinking with the end of Breathe it's "err, Mr. Greenfield, your space ship is waiting, sir...thank you for everything...and good luck in the next world...b...

Re: Dark Matters - Initial Thoughts/Reviews
"the Spotify credits (and by extension the actual publishing credits) state that all songs are written by Burnel/Warne aside from "No Man's Land" (Burnel/Macaulay/Warne) and "This Song" (Burnel/Seamarks/Warne)" Hold on...Dave gets no credit - Dave's missus not getting ...

Re: Water a great song IMHO.
I also thought Water sounded like a right plod live from the last tour. Hearing the recorded version it's a different beast. A proggy beast still in search of a good chorus, but I can't wait to hear it loud at home. Interesting choice of album opener though? Longships, Waltzinblack, Time to Die, Ano...

Re: DARK MATTERS!!!!!
" The upcoming album is a gem - been listening to it loads - it has everything you love about the stranglers plus more"
Super encouraging.
Has a nice, bracing, short but sweet instrumental then!

Re: DARK MATTERS!!!!!
Does anyone know, or even had a chat with John R about the new lp? He's clearly heard it and what he mentioned (a few times) was quite intriguing and hopeful. I wonder what he would say to "what Stranglers songs or periods do you sense an echo of?'....he implied that. Interested in his take out...

XTC Bonus discs un co-operative
I just bought the updated XTC 5.1 surround sound cd's for Black Sea (with fantastic Stranglers circa 1980 wannabee song "rocket from a bottle') and they come with bonus discs full of goodies as you can imagine. Downloaded the main disc to itunes via my trusted old Mac Book Pro...via the cd/dvd ...
