If you want to criticise someone's grammAr, at least learn to spell it!:)

Ouch! That'll learn me!

No, but it might teach you. :)

When the English Lessons For The Insane have finished will anybody be able to tell me if Bernards currently working on something other than the new Bad Loot album?

From what has been posted here over the last year he was meant to be making a BL album and one with Stuart Price but then it seemed that the latter project was shelved and if I am not imagining it (or making it up!) Bernard was working on a BL album which would also feature contributions from Stuart Price but another recent poster who seems to be in the know reckons there will be two albums. According to the Stuart Price Wiki the collaboration with Bernard has been shelved so that probably means it will go ahead. There is also photographic evidence of BL in the studio working on stuff.. :confused2:

Er. Thanks.

Anybody else think Stuart Price is incredibly over-rated btw?

I know it was shelved. But I'm pretty sure Bernard mentioned it again in an interview he's done for Total. But my impression was Price was brought in to do some work on the new BL album - so maybe they're just picking up the earlier with with Price rather than dropping it?

I'm quite sure it wasn't shelved, you don't ditch work with an expensive producer such as Stuart Price. It just isn't finished.

Deffo over-rated. Funniest thing i saw was during a recent Formula 1 gridwalk, when Martin Brundle went up to him and started asking him questions. Brundle thought he was talking to actor Adrien Brody!!! When Stuart Price pointed out that he was actually Stuart Price, Brundle ended up walking off muttering about how he didn't know who that fella was..... I was p!ssing myself laughing.

I don't think I really know what these producers look like. Some people might say he is overrated...but it still seems that more than a few people have worked with him, so I don't really mind.

He's produced some brilliant stuff, though it all depends on what you really want from a producer.

Wouldn't say he is over rated but his work on WFTSC was not that amazing.Jetstream wasn't a career highlight for him.

Some might say he was only working with the material he was given though. I say that as a New Order fan too. Sometimes you just can't polish a turd no matter how much of a super-producer you are. Mind you it took both Price and Richard X hammering away at that song to turn it into something half decent (the latter's remix is great). But by the end it just didn't seem like a "New Order song"; it seemed like Bernard collaborating with a couple of hip young super producers which didn't fit well on an album under the NO banner. In my opinion, anyway.

That said, 'Guilt Is A Useless Emotion' is a pretty well produced electronic track; done in a similar vein to what he did with Madonna's material around that time which also did pretty well in the charts. The band were also nominated for a Grammy award in 2006 for the solid batch of Guilt remixes? He clearly has the Midas Touch sometimes.
