I am really looking forward to listen to Bury Me Standing, Sister Surrender and Believer but I hope that they sound nothing like Lady Violence and She Said because they were my least favorite songs on that album and they sounded too loud and too noisy but the other songs sounded very good, again it is only my opinion.
The album is OK im my humble o, but it's been destroyed for me but the earlier mention of the singing resembling Jesus Jones. I mean Pop Will Eat Itself were good, but not Jesus flippin' Jones... It's just ruined the Freebass album for me...but the ep is very fine, and as I say the Arthur Baker remix is a cracker. I now regret not shouting out at Goodwood and getting onto the CD...you know like when that bloke shouted out 'Judas' to Bob Dylan...I thought of 'Who needs Barney anyway', but I would actually like to see them all together again at some point...any chance of a gig with Gillian back? Silly one: why did the TV advert use a cover version of Ceremony?
There's a download EP also out with some remixes of the Tim Burgess track.

Then spend a week visiting my best friend in Bangor, and then start a SOBO by mid July. If this plan goes into action, I figure if I even make it to the AT then I should be good for the rest of the hike. cheap ghd straighteners ghd mk4 ghd straighteners
This is Garbage and does not even belong here.
Besides, winter hiking in upstate New York is pretty hardcore, especially for a Chinese guy hauling electronics for sale

Freebass - “It’s A Beautiful Life” – The Album
Double CD feat. Three Exclusive Bonus Tracks / B Sides & Bonus CD Of InstrumentalsAlso Available Online Via Usual OutletsReleased Monday 20th September 2010 via Hacienda Records / Essential MusicAlbum Pre-Order Links
Hacienda Records / Essential Music are pleased to announce the long awaited full physical and online release of the debut Freebass album, “It’s A Beautiful Life” on Monday 20th September.
The collaborative project between the triumvirate of celebrated Mancunian bassists Peter “Hooky” Hook (Joy Division / New Order), Gary “Mani” Mounfield (The Stone Roses / Primal Scream), Andy “Rourkie” Rourke (The Smith) and lead singer Gary Briggs (Haven / Strays), the Freebass album finally arrives some five years after first being mooted by its bass guitar hero members.
Taking time to audition a succession of guest vocalists before appointing the emotively talented Gary Briggs as Freebass’ front man, Gary is considered by many the finest Manchester lead singer of the last decade. However while sessions with Gary progressed and Freebass’ sound became more and more honed, Andy Rourke moved to New York in 2009, but contributes to tracks on the album.
The studio album, which brings together the seminal bassists of the seminal Mancunian groups of the last 30 years, originally developed from free-form sessions between Hooky, Mani and Rourkie which provided the open minded, expansive sound of Freebass. Deftly arch guitar work and wonderfully cascading bass lines permeate the album which serves to slyly re-interpret members’ styles and influences in an inventive engaging cocktail of Northern Soul, dub, Krautrock and more, paying homage to the past but not trading off it.
Adapting the illustrious members styles and decades of experience into an innovative and dramatic album “It’s A Beautiful Life” varies its mood throughout, throwing in lighter, delicate, more melodic numbers, “It’s Not Too Late”, “The Only One’s Alone” and “Secrets And Lies” offset against some anthemically brooding, darker-edged tracks, including “Plan B”, “Kill Switch Pt 101” and “Lady Violence” with rock-ier indie tracks such as “She Said” and “The God Machine” rounding off the original album.
This Double CD release comes with three extra exclusive tracks which will only be released on this edition, “Bury Me Standing”, “Sister Surrender”, and “Believer” and contains a second CD which features instrumental versions of all tracks.

Make it all the easier to do Bad Lt/Freebass mashups with Barney's vocals?
And it will possibly make the whole thing mildly listenable
