Numan's Dead Son Rising for me too. Too early to formulate a full review or opinion yet, but it's an interesting and varied album. Much more varied than Jagged with cleaner production.

it sounds pretty much like what it is - a load of demos from the last 2 albums, fashioned into a finished set. It's understandable why Numan considers DSR a "filler" in the run-up to the next album, but on the other hand, it's simply nice to have some new material for the first time in ages.

its Friday, but its not five o'clock, and its not Crackerjack, but it is however phenomenal, do doo be-do-do

Velociraptor! by Kasabian whilst waiting for Dead Son Rising to arrive, is it out at HMV High Street stores - I'm becoming impatient?

Dead Son Rising on heavy rotation for me.

DSR is currently only available from Townsend - it gets a general release on 24th October.

just discovered Siouxsie & Banshees covers album "Through the Looking Glass" - contains among others a good cover of Kraftwerk's Hall of Mirrors of all things...


well I never.

New Order's "Power Corruption & Lies" tonight, a brilliant album.

I must hear that is it a new album??

No! It's from 1987..!

Completely passed me by too, although I remember the cover of "This Wheel's On Fire" as a single..

(note to self: another one to add to the list of "bands and artists who have done cover version albums" .. )

I bought this album when it came out. Great tracks on it. They also released "The Passenger" as a single.

Thanks guys i'm going to check that album out!
