Re: Down - acoustic track

Is it from the Coup de Grace period ? Speed it up, or slow it down with the Playback speed settings :smt020

Re: Dark Matters review

They carried on after Hugh, they carried on after Jet, they carried on after Dave.

All band members were equal.

Although different circumstances for each, can't see any pertinent reason for not doing so for any particular one.

Re: DARK MATTERS!!!!!

Pretty sure this all counts towards charts, ... Regarding charts ... Amazon Best Sellers in New Wave & Post-Punk has it currently at No. 21 for the CD, No. 25 for the Vinyl, this fluctuates but is based on presales for this album, not sure it amounts to much in sales considering some of the ent...

Re: Dark Matters review

In the case of Jim, I wouldn't be surprised if he was getting credit for merely being in the room at the time. Someone has to play drums, after all, and it would make sense that the guy hired to play drums was playing them. Jim has some contribution to vocals on this album, as does Dave ... accordi...

Regarding Paul, that seems to have been something put out by the band at the time.

Re: Important question

Only the album so far, had tickets for the original dates but sent them back as couldn't make the first rescheduled dates. Then it got rescheduled again, venue sold out, no loss it's only a crappy O2 - it gets crammed full (would avoid that anyway) and visibility is shite - . Will watch the clips on...

JJ's the controlling force, not sure there's much drive considering the lack of releases for years.

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

Interesting comparison point because: 1. It's Little Mix and 2. Little Mix still have three original members in their line-up and The Stranglers don't. On that point, how about Bucks Fizz? somewhat parallel, members left until there was one bloke left with name who kept it and carried on, ex member...
