I've never been comfortable with 'slightly cosy' and hope I never will be. I too will 'quite like' parts of the new album (which I will, of course, buy) and probably never ever want to hear other parts of it. The, to me, real tragedy of the situation, is that I can probably already tell you which parts I'll like and which i won't. Believe me, I don't want to feel like this, I just do.
David, I've heard there's a job going as record reviewer on Psychic News if you want to apply  |

I don't like the 'electric guitar' sound (Wait For The Tide To Come In).
I do like that. There is a Hendrixesque solo on one of the Dylan Project albums that is outstanding. |

It's probably a case of "many ears to please" and "many people's love to try".
Philosophical question - should artists aim to please their audience or stay true to themselves?

Bit past it for that last bit in quotes aren't they?  |

The latter. Always. Agreed. You only have to look at the European Tour clips on youtube to see how much they are enjoying playing the new material. |

So, regrettably, will be Uke Central. Funny at the first time of hearing but not on a record for posterity, surely  Featuring none other than renowned uke-botherer Frank Skinner.  |

I will pass on this one I'm afraid.
Some songs I don't like much interspersed by the slaughtering of a much loved favourite.

He's talking about the hidden track at the end, wherein Ric Sanders' cat is sacrificed to the great god Imhotep in order to guarantee good sales for the Winter tour over a gentle chorus of reverse-gated ukuleles. A controversial inclusion, but one fully sanctioned by Iconic Media.  |

Have you actually heard this unreleased album? Andy, help required please. This has nowt to do with the subject I admit. If you want to highlight a single line in someones' comment, as you have above,... well how's that done? I've tried several times unsuccessfully. It usually highlights the entire previous comment. Cheers. Edit: I have IM'd some hints and tips to you, Henry. Cheers Nick |

You'll be another candidate for the vacancy of record reviewer for Psychic News, then? |

You'll be another candidate for the vacancy of record reviewer for Psychic News, then? I will bet real cash money that I'm right..... In terms of recorded output Fairport and I have pretty much reached the end of the road - I'm ok with that, I absolutely defend their right to follow their muse, it's just not for me anymore. If they got in a decent producer, a proper guitarist and made a noisy album, then I will get back on board, but I have plenty of great albums without buying any more that are merely ok! |

Have you actually heard this unreleased album? Name me one Fairport re-recording that is better then the original, and I will gladly eat my words. The only one to come close is Polly on the Shore, and even then I reach for the original when I want to her it. |
