Absolutely right, im looking forward to the album and from what ive heard of the tracks on it they are very promising, all seem to offer something different

No lol there's a mention he was their bassist and that's it lol i haven't mentioned anything about Nellie either lol
nothing wrong with Nellie, i once saw the dickies with Olga guesting on guitar do a brilliant version of it

I like the cover i think its good,blimey how many single pic covers have there been over five decades now,god knows yet they still keep coming up with the goods, fair play you have to hand it to them again another great artwork.

It sounds a bit better without Liz Kershaw talking all over it!

Sounds OK. A bit like Ultravox. Not that keen on Baz's vocal delivery. Not a standout track imho.

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 think about TheThe in places. Eighties synth pop is possibly the best description.

Have to agree with you Paul...it's a Sculpture Era B Side at best.

Which in context is enough to get excited about.

Agreed with the comments so far.

It (They) needs a singer. Paul woulda sounded good on this ("I miss yer!") :lol:

That said this is the best I've heard so far.
