WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU LOT LISTENIN TO - When it's not the fucking Stranglers??!

[Hammer]

Goodbye to the village was just a bonus track wasn't it, but yes its a great track.

Yes, it was also the B-Side to 'Sanity'.

Ive only got the original cd of BTATS. Have you got the other version Hammer? Is it worth getting? Does it sound different? Its a different mix isn't it?

Yes, I have got the remix version of BTATS Jason. It possibly sounds a little 'cleaner' than the original, but then again I thought the original was pretty clear anyway. You can't really discern where it has been remixed other than the keyboard may have been turned down a little.

So unless you want the extended bonus tracks of 'Adorations' or 'Sanity', (IMHO neither of which are to write home about) I probably wouldn't bother mate.

Noooooooo!

Spend your money!!!

The restored mixes are so much better. They have more grunt about them.

True BTATS is a lighter weight sound but the restored mixes are cracking!

Two from the old guard:

Graham Parker & the Rumour, THREE CHORDS GOOD
It's as though they never went away. Everything's here: Bob Andrews' roller rink keys, sure-fingered fretwork from Belmont and Schwarz, plus sustained outrage from Parker, whose voice has become reedier with age while losing none of it's bite. The brutal COATHANGERS is polemic done right.

Elvis Costello & the Roots, WISE UP GHOST
As Parker delivers a snarl, Costello offers a sneer.
I wasn't certain what to expect from such a collaboration, but I hoped it would amt to more than THIS. The Roots are plenty tight and have talent to spare, but they're merely expected to lay a bed of medium-to-slow jams while Elvoid flaunts his wordcraft. The sameness of tracks becomes numbing until the well-written closer, likely left over from another project, awakens you.

Spook School. Excellent.

Tago Mago.
A bit of 1st album Joy Division too, just finished Hookys book.
They've been ripped off by countless bands ever since, it's crazy.
I was wondering, if Hooky had thrown in the JD/NO towel after Curtis died,
would he have been happier? In the long run. If he still had the JD royalty cheques,
and didn't get involved in all the NO fiascos, Hacienda, losing any money they made?
And I'm sure even he would admit he was losing interest musically from when they
decided to keep going as New Order. Also, wouldn't have done the legacy any harm neither.
Yeah, but at the moment Can.
It's cool, but fucking mental.
