Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
As they've observed, you can definitely chart an alternative universe where this as a classic one-hit wonder. They'd be fondly remembered, Chris having returned to designing staircases in Milton Keynes and Neil would pop up on BBC4 documentaries occasionally talking about The Waste Land and Grandma...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
The train announcement is at Victoria station and is the 14:27 Epsom Downs service calling at Battersea Park, Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Common, Balham (almost inaudible), Streatham Common and presumably all other stations to Epsom Downs, via West Croydon. I've never heard a train announcement in...

Re: Your Instant Classics
An open mind would win the B-side most likely to get to no.1 if anyone knew what this anymore award.
How such a pedigree, perfectly produced gentle anthem such as this missed being on Hotspot as its lead single is a mystery. There are b-sides and then there's an open mind.

Re: Wilderness years?
It wouldn't surprise me if Neil's just had a bad chest infection. There's been a lot of colds and viruses going round the UK since the autumn. I've had three in this time - the latest of which caused me to lose my voice and sound croaky just like Neil does now as I was recovering. Took weeks gettin...

Re: Your Instant Classics
An instant classic was A face like that on Elysium. It starts with a sweltering pounding baseline, those elegant and decisive bells, before sweeping into a wistful vocal and summons up the images of Domino dancing and a tropical storm was passing through /and so were you It was a hark back to the ho...

I assume that Anne Dudley is also on the album ..? --- As well as Anne Dudley and the BBC Concert Orchestra, we were joined in the Radio 2 Piano Room last week by three wonderful singers: Nile Bailey, Bim Amoako-Gyampah and Senab Adekunle. They also sing on our new album. --- She is not. Well, Anne...

Re: New Single - Loneliness
Surely there's going to be a 12" ..?
Maybe there will be another single just before the album - say a week before is what I'd guess

Re: PSB at Royal Opera House
Going on Saturday.
Here's hoping for a non Dreamworld show with new songs and plenty of B-sides. Time for A man could get arrested to have it's live debut.

Re: New Single - Loneliness
Was Burning the heather a single?! It's not on Smash.
Listened to Hotspot last night and it's a lovely closing song - the trumpet is gorgeous, I just wish it sounded less demo-ish. I had to jump up to stop the record before the excruciating Wedding in Berlin started.
