Best record in YEARS

The new album is a little Electronic with the (massively underrated) class first side of Republic, along with a dash of Technique.

Tracks 3 & 10 - like a breath of fresh air through the soul.

Just found out it's on vinyl too (thanks NOOL homepage) - four sides! :D

Are you listening P?

To which thing in particular, H?

we have our own comedy duo, then! P&H, better than telly!

... That there is an entity with which to prove your side theory!

Have to admit it is ok

Can you provide me with a little bit more precise guidance as to where I should look for that entity?

I think H&P has a bit more sauce to it (joke inspired in part by Sprinkler the Blank).

Hey Sprinkles, when do we get the official 'Mac release' of this site? ... it is a constant bane not being able to quote somebody. If you answer this I will probably break open a tube of Pringles in celebration - the last 442,000 efforts were simply cast adrift on memory bliss.

You see, without having the fabulous quote facility it looked like I'd replied to Pastie with an entirely inappropriate response mechanism.

P - the top of the page ... '4' sides to the album!!! (come on, we'll never make the stage at this rate).

You know perfectly well, H, that in my theory of the world, the world has THREE sides, not four. Silly H.

Sprinkler, don't miss out on the bacholorette party and Easter brunch on my account ... I did hear that the other Mac user had moved to Pluto on Tuesday.

I'm just happy that you replied - that'll do me.

Nick, i sent you an email earlier this week regarding the html issue with the editor.

I noticed it is the FreeTextBox  editor that should be compatible with Mozilla.

My guess is there is some default setting in mozilla which tells FTB to escape the generated html.

If i can find the time i will try some about:config parameters in mozilla and see if they solve these problems.

P - After your quite outspoken 'side' theory about 1am this morning (DC time) I figured you'd be damn pleased that a vinyl was being released which had sides to every corner?

I can't be held accountable if they have elected to obliterate your theory into tiny morsels by releasing 4 sides. Why not vent your anger to Henry Winkler on the 'art' thread? - I'm sure he could put a word in to NO through Peter Sausage and they could squeeze them all back onto 3 sides.

Sheesh!

Oh, dear, now I've gone and done it! Sorry, H, I got carried away. You haven't located the Elisofon image yet, have you?

No, but somebody else has.

It took about 11 minutes, with 3 minutes spent cleaning a cup out for a brew.

Some people really take the time to clean them first?

Only if a biscuit was dropped and clung to the side over an eight month period.

Oh, well, in that case.

cue credits.

Technique was steamed with a surrounding summer holiday, WFTSC has simply emerged un-announced while a lot of us are yet to receive the Skegness caravan guide.

The comparison between Low Life & Sirens' is justified from my point as well as both took a little time to hit home. Technique was an immediate attraction. I felt let down by Bhood as I'd seen the songs first hand which were a lot raw than the eventual vinyl.

I remember a balmy night in Bomere but that's another story...;)

Well done. Brilliant! There were 12"s in the 80s. But that's their best album ever.

First listen i thought mmmmm.

Thanks nuts - theres not much to add to that!

NO used to be a 'singles' band - but this is a GREAT ALBUM

Best record in years.

Depends on how many years you are talking.

Better than Get Ready and Republic..( just )

Not a patch on Technique

I just listened to the streams for the first time.  I loved it.  One of the most enjoyable albums I've heard in years.  I kept tryingo to peg it as 'sounds like x mixed with y' but I couldn't.  My perception of it kept changing.  In a world of formulaic music it was refreshing to hear that.

My first impression:

The first two tracks sound kind of in the same vein.  An inspiring call to arms feel.  Love Krafty.  ITYS wasn't at all what I though tit would be.  I thought it sounded kind of tense and pissed off.  I didn't think it was bad at all.  I can see why they want to make Jetstream a single, it's catchy as hell.  My fave was prob Working Overtime.  And yeah I loved Rock the Shack too.
