A bloke on the other forum writes Hooky said it'll be a while yet before it's released. He reports the song as sounding well produced garage rock, guitar based White Stripes-ish. Fans of Rock The Shack will be delighted :D I like RTS, BTW... nice garage anthem (though my favourites in GR are the most sophisticated like Vicious Streak and Someone Like You)... :)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I hope Barney doesn't attempt to emulate Jack White's voice...
Hooky should expect a panic call from Miami any day now... 
I'll get my coat...
Nevertheless, wouldn't it be a dream that the band would actually ask our advice while making this album?
Maybe not, nobody would agree.. some people DO love Shellshock after all!

and me ! I'm not ashamed to admit it :D
Anyway, why should they ask for our advice ?! They should do what THEY want to do, and then if us fans don't like it, then we have a choice not to buy it, don't we 
and more importantly, if it was all to be perfect, according to our wishes, wtf would we talk about next 
Originally posted by Spotnick BTW, where was that and why was Hooky there?
It was a DJ set at a club called Arc on Brighton seafront. They do a night called HOLDUP! on Saturday. Shaun Ryder recently did one there.

I walked past that place last year when the temperature was cooking near 100F!

*Hey mate I hope it's clear the line "Fans of Rock The Shack will be delighted" was added by myself as a comment. That guy reported it's White Stripes-ish garage, and it's only me guessing it won't be too distant from RTS, that doesn't mean he reported it sounds like RTS (nor that it does of course), so there's still hope for you. :D
too late Mick, it's out and about now.
Let's hope the band have'nt split due to musical differences
the white stripes are 40 years too late...
but seriously, comparisons to the white stripes scare me a bit.
Originally posted by Detweiler Surprised Barney hasn't come up with a lyric about shite stripes in Hooky's pants yet !
My word that just threw some odd, nay shocking imagery into my head. That said it's not a possibility that's easy to dismiss Tim, frightening and funny
Originally posted by Clockwork C it means my (albiet fanciful) hopes of "technique2" are dashed
Technique has more guitar-only songs on it than anything since Movement !! Love Less, All The Way, Run, Guilty Partner, Dream Attack....half the album !

All The Way: has keyboards. Run: has keyboards. Guilty Partner: has keyboards. Dream Attack: virtually all keyboards. Granted, Loveless has none, but I'm guessing those are drum samples rather than an acoustic kit.
Use your ears.

By guitar-only I meant that they are guitar-driven, with bits of keyboard in the background, rather than songs that contain zero keyboard at all, which are very few and far between. Barney and Gillian both played guitar on most of those, that is the acid test for me. Technique has fewer electronica-driven songs that are all sequencers than other albums. Maybe I should have explained better what I meant, though I stand by the principle behind what I said.
Use your manners ;)

Oh, I see. Guitar-driven tracks. Agreed on that list, although Dream Attack has always sounded a more synth-led track to me (lots of pads sounds, sequenced synth bass, piano sound) although the drums are acoustic hit samples. I seem to remember Gillian playing guitar on it at Reading 1993, and leaving the keyboards to chug along happily by themselves!
Andy
They should have sampled Gillian's guitar for that one, having heard more bum notes in that song than many !
Sometimes it's good not to be a musician yourself. You don't get caught up in all the finiky bollocks - just enjoy the music!
I hate the White Stripes, so I hope that comparison's off base.
Here to Stay with more guitar doesn't sound bad though.

i couldnt give a toss either about a few bum notes here or there.
