    Yes, is the song being played on the radio at the moment a new one? If so, I really like it and am glad that for one they`re back and for two that they`re putting out quality material again.

    Answering my own question, yes, the new album will be out soon, and this, Two Worlds Collide is the new song:

    I should have known Holland would pop up somewhere... And Chas seems to be gradually turning into Jeff Lynne.

    I saw them last week. A good show, not quite as great as when I saw them the previous year, but Thijs was having problems with his organ (oo er). Pierre Van Der Linden is just awesome.

    Far better than reload. The question that will always hang over this album; why did lars insist on recording the drums in the kitchen with frying pans?

    I actually quite like the drum sound... :rolleyes: It's weird, the whole production seems to even out as the album goes on... Frantic sounds bizarre, but All Within My Hands is almost normal. That aside, I genuinely believe the songs are excellent (Invisible Kid aside) - probably the most honest album they've ever made, a real primal expression.

    Nice video here of SW on tour recently.

    This is probably my favourite track from the last album.

    Nick Beggs on bass and Adam Holzman on keys, great band !

    Beautiful song... I'm going to the RAH show, sometime this month... Can't remember exactly when though...

    So, what's that bass, and what's making that massive tone.

    It's a custom Alembic, running in stereo through (I believe) Sunn amps. So, you've got the bridge pickup trebly and nicely distorted, and the neck pickup running fat and warm.
    I've actually got an Alembic savings fund going on - at my current rate, I should be able to order one when I'm 50. :D

    I once bought a BC Rich Ironbird from my local CC... It was up for about £100 odd, but I was concerned with the bow in the neck. The chap in the shop clearly had no idea about guitars, had a bit of a panic and offered it to me for £40. It turned out he had tuned it comically high - once tuned correctly the neck straightened right out!
    Test the waters, see if the chap in your branch knows his stuff - if not, slyly suggest the bass is junk and see what discount you can get. :D

    How can you think about music when Susanna Reid is cavorting for your viewing pleasure? Some things are more important than bass , and Susanna is one of those things .
