Prefab Sprout

They still going? What are they all doing these days?

When Love Breaks Down was alright

Just look at us now... some things mean more to us than cars and girls.

How wrong they were...

Well ain't that strange.

"According to Mojo 's magazine website, the band are working on a new album with the provisional title Let's Change the World With Music - The Blueprint, and a planned February 2009 release date. This has now been confirmed on the website of Kitchenware Records."

Sounding extremely crisp in this performance on the old grey whistle test 1985

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

the last i'd heard from the sprout site was that there is an album due but that even martin mcaloon couldn't confirm the release date. june/july was speculated. it's good news though. I was trawling through the you tube footage too. it's great to see those live tv performances again.

Possibly unintentionally, you've just given a good answer:

I Trawl The Megahertz

Worth searching it out - it's wonderful.

Got the album this week.

My album of the year , so far.

I raised the topic of Prefab Sprout about a year-and-a-half ago, and this forum generated some very interesting thoughts.

Prefab Sprout are another of those bands that are stereotyped by some comic or stupid videos, depending on your point of view. I strongly recommend two of their 1992 bitter-sweet songs If You Don't Love Me and The Sound Of Crying - both of which you can listen to on their MySpace.com webpage:

I totally forgot about the new album: must get it soon!

Not a band I'm fond of, more to do with association of time than actual music! but I saw an article in the times and was stunned to see what Paddy McAloon looks like now! You can read the article here: timesonline.co.uk hope that's helpful to you.

Cheers for that

I was also shocked to see what he looked like now. Very sad to read about his poor health (nearly blind and tinnitus).

Different,thats all i can say.

Weird looking gadji singer,and bird,spose almost a comedy/bizarre/]working mans Deacon Blue.

The music isn't particularly brilliant,nor is the singer,however,catchy indeedy.

Oh ffs,i forgot i'm a Musik reviewer now....

Liked em at the time,never bought thier albums tho.

I bet you know loads of Prefab Sprout songs, they have recorded about 9 studio albums. It is like when I tell folk I like New Order ,they only know "Blue Monday & the football song".Then recognise lots of them after hearing them.
