After not liking it for quite some time, I thought the finished version of The Fall sounded brilliant.
Gary referred to Dead Son Rising as a "mini album", so I don't know how many songs that means, maybe 6 or 8 at a guess. The main thing is, it's new material!
It would be nice if he can get Splinter done this year, but as he said, it could well be next year. As always he talked about John Foxx and Systems of Romance with passion and enthusiasm, which I thought was nice.
