I have heard a promo of the album...
...the news is good. Very good. I have to explain that I'm trapped in a Metamatic/Garden time warp somewhere in the early 80's, so accepting that John has moved on and progressed has been a bit difficult for me. This new album has made me realize that.
Move on he has, and there are some wonderful Metamatic moments on the new one. So I won't go on, but just to say, that the stories are coherent and the machines sound the way I'd want them to. He made it for me!!!, but also as a lesson that progress is everything.
Good treatments on your voice, John. I'd stay around Hoxton if I were you. Benge's place is round the corner from where the Garden was, and down the road from the great metropolis of the city of London. All steel and systematic buildings in their 21st century linear beauty. The sequences go by...
