I still haven’t listened to the Garden remaster yet (I said that bit quietly) but I wanted to share this email I received this morning from my best old friend.

"Hi Geo,
Bloody Hell !
Just listened to "The Garden" on the way into work on my ipod (it is the 2 disc digital remaster).
1/ I'd forgotten that it was so dance orientated
2/ That for all the pastoral cover and Church book only really the last track relates to the album art (ok Paternoster & The Garden)
3/ That I remembered every track once they played.
4/ How bloody Good it was !"!!"I ‘subjected’ him to hearing The Garden a lot when I first met him, way back then, and he’s never heard any post 1998 John & Louis work, (he’s not exactly into electro). The last time he actually listened to the Garden was in ’87, but unknown to me he went and bought himself a new copy this week.
I’ve just ordered TGS online for him as a surprise pressy, hope it has the same effect
