So perhaps we'll get a view of that on YT ...

So the whole article is just bigging up a cover version then?, would be good to hear but not worth getting my knickers in a twist about. Do you think that The Easy All Stars will do Dubland?

i reckon floodland would make a great cocktail cupboard innit...

as for the ACTUAL reworking of it, it sounds "interesting" yes...but i'm sure i will hate it. maybe if they grandiosed it UP rather than trimming it DOWN it would hold more appeal for me but it sounds a bit like TSOM unplugged to me. fine for 1959 which is just Von and the old Joanna but dreadful for the rest! "Real" drums rather than drum-tek is retarded for starters.. Cello's are awesome true, but at the expense of the rest of the Synth-ony orchestra? no way!and not even a hint of a Sexyphone! We are sailing dangerously toward Lamb Chop territory again....and not the delicious salivatory yummy-ness of roasting flesh oh no! rather the poisoned toffu and s**t flavoured type of lamb choppy offering that youu wouldnt serve to anyone other the sort of c**t who murders Sisters songs. & & for that matter.

Sounds very promising!
