Yay! Another fan out there! Could be a late winner of my album of the year.

I can't comment on the album but I saw them in London earlier in the year and almost fell asleep during what was a painfully dreary set. Explains why I can't comment on the album really.

ohhh they are excellent! i picked up a demo cd a year and a half or so ago and couldnt wait for the album earlier this year. caught them at t in the park and they were excellent. new material was played then and recently too in edinburgh at their gig back in october. lovely melodies and greg gilberts voice is incredible- hitting all those notes spot on and beautifully live too. nice mixing of guitars and keys too and synths, love these guys to bits. if you can then get the album with the bonus dvd- its got some great live performances on it and videos. they also described how their new album is going to sound in a recent nme- michael jackson influenced- sounds interesting but even if its half as good as the live new tracks ive heard it will be awesome! HUGE fan here! x

Great and singing like a girl too. How good is the first track on the album (indeed the first four are stunning).

Absolutely, track one, Wanderlust, is what made me buy the album, although at the mo Long Time Coming (track 3) is the fave for me.

i always thought they were dull as dishwater

its sickly stuff

No I can't agree, something slightly magical about them, very unique sound.

Ohoho... that has been one of the albums that I keep meaning to buy and am on my way towards it when I stumble across more King Crimson or something. All I've heard is Long Time Coming and the two other tracks off the single. Does the rest of the album sound similar?
