Re: Dark Matters has it stood the test of time?

Guess it's time for another track by track - about nearly 2 years on... Water: Very effective opener. Worth the decade it took them to create it? This Song: I used to prefer Spess version but when I listened to that, I was missing the keyboards And If you should See Dave: Gotta admit I tend to skip ...

Re: New album confirmed (edit: or is it?)

I'm still keen for new Stranglers material and perhaps this new line up might help to make it refreshing as long as they're not obsessed with giving their classic material so many nods and and tributes. I think the challenge for Toby for example might be how much he'd be willing to forge his own thi...

Re: What would like to hear from the big 50

If they can handle it, play 50 tracks every night. That should be enough for greatest hits + rarities? :smile:

Re: New Rat Chat out

Mk1 into the 1990s and beyond might have been a car crash, or really interesting. But it would have need all four of them want it and not phone it in. It's tempting to think that if MKI had stuck together through the '90s then the Britpop years may have been kind to them - they WERE getting cited a...

Re: White Stallion

It looked awkward with JJ half gesturing with his hands instead of them being on the bass. But with a separate lead singer, he would be free to play some extra basslines or something whilst ...

Re: No Hugs ...
