Okay at least we tried. We tried to contact Rough Trade. We even tried that old method; the fax machine.

No luck, no responses, nothing.

We haven’t heard the album yet! And I personally don’t have a clue weather or not Green is using one of my sounds on that album (I am a sound designer for Reason, a music-application Green told me he did use for this album).

But obviously this guy Tim of Channel4 has more luck.

We’d go so far to say that this album is as beautiful and strange and uniquely pop as anything Scritti Politti have ever produced.

We want that CD!

Update 0: Thanks Tim for the article and cool looking Green pic!

Update 1: ~~It seems that Channel4 still doesn’t have a proper permalink structure on their website~~. Here is the permanent link to the article (thanks Tim!). ~~Maybe we should take a screenshot and save it for Scritti Archive Reasons…~~

Great work!

Btw The title of Channel4,”Green Day”, is a good way to confuse Technorati I guess :)

Hi, we do have a permanent link. It automatically archives:
I’m sure some people are probably frustrated that I didn’t give a ‘proper’ review but we just don’t do that sort of thing on there. But it is amazing, though it’s taken me a while to get used to the not-live versions. ‘Cooking’ sadly doesn’t have the crazy rap ending. It’s a much gentler song on CD. The intro (and outro) to Dr. Abernathy is, I reckon, the most perfect thing Green’s ever put to disc. ‘Petrococadollar’ is also pretty stunning. Another gentle sighing song. The whole record is a lot softer than you might expect from the live arrangements – even ‘E11th Nuts’. ”Road To Regret’ manages to sound like ‘Watermark’-era Art Garfunkel (this is a very good thing, of course). ‘Mrs Hughes’ is nuts, another with loads of different musical sections and movements and ridiculous lyrics yet still very very melodic and harmonic. I know I’m skipping tracks but there’s just so much going on on this album that I haven’t begun to formulate opinions on a lot of it other than “wow” “gosh” and “blimey”.

It’s an incredible piece of work and one that will stand up to years of listening. I loved A&B but it was very much of one mood, if that makes sense. This is a far more complex, inventive and rewarding record.

Bugger. Didn’t mean to make that all a hyperlink. It’s not like I use html every day of my life or anything!

Hey Tim, edited your comment, so it doesn’t link the whole piece. Thanks for the short review!

The new album is superb! – A deliciously downtempo masterpiece, in my very humble opinion. This could be a good place to buy it, when officially released…
