Hector, it seems we won`t get a UTS release in Germany and I don`t know about Europe in general. I had to order it as an import version in a local store. I hope the import delay won`t be too long. The official date was 29.09. but the store people already told me, that the shipping could take 2 weeks longer...
Probably I should have ordered it via amazon instead. Perhaps that`s what you could do too. I guess we won`t have an opportunity to see a live show over here in Europe.
But this release and the prospect of and hope for the next one, which is announced for 2007 is making up for this. My favourite from the 3 new songs is CAD too. I have to get used to the Brian Wilson style-songs but if you can`t say one thing about the new songs, then that this is boring stuff or a work from someone who had run out of ideas. Great days for us.

That seems like a good idea Stefan, maybe it's what I'll do, thanks!
Lindsey in Europe? noo, I don't think so, unless this or the next album are huge, which I don't believe either
This is one of the things that I like most about these songs: he seems like he doesn't care to be polished, commercial, this time (in OOTC, i think he made the attempt), so no compromises in his vision.
I'm sure this and the next album will be loved by every Lindsey fan, just after a little while of getting used to this new sound. I think he's in a great form!

Cheers!

On Mars?

great that he's been picked up by the BBC-radio.
How did it sound on the radio? I always have a complete other reception of a track played by radio than playing it by yourself.

Gerald, do you have any comments on the shocking news that both Try For The Sun and Shut Us Down appear in shortened form on the album? According to the Allmusic Guide discography entry Try For The Sun is 30 seconds shorter on UTS than on GOS and Shut Us Down has lost more than a minute of its length.

Wonder why that is? After all, there is still plenty of room left on the CD.

I don't know. I try not to be shocked. I remember we all freaked out when the rumour was that Come would have been shorter too. It stayed intact on SYW.

I hope he didn't cut out the "mirror, mirror in the sky" bit from the end of TFTS because that's lovely.

As for Shut Us Down, it could be that he didn't remove anything from it. He probably played it faster/sped up the tape for the album just to annoy Johnny Stew.

Does it matter if Shut Us Down is shorter on the album though? We already have the rather perfect Elizabethtown version.

It was weird. I heard it playing quietly in the background and my ears pricked up. I thought, I know this and then it hit me! I was really excited. It sounded pretty nice on the radio too - it worked. Just shows you, Radio 2 could have picked any song from the album to play and,wow, they didn't choose Down On Rodeo! I hope they play it more now. I think everyone should email Radio 2 and request it!

Got radio 6 on all the time at work, think they'll play it too? I think he'd fit there well anyway.

HEY Mari! Good to see you back!!!!! Everything OK?

[Mari]

nice to be back, I'm fine thanks Just been busy around the house.. and more interested in other music at the moment, I guess. I did listen to a few tracks but it didn't do that much to me yet. Yet. Don't worry, I'll buy the album and play it 2345832 times, it'll grow on me eventually

[macmar71]

It is growing on me everyday!!! I cannot wait to see him in NYC tomorrow
