They were a strange band. Saw them at cov theatre in the early 80's. they were a fantastic live act but most of their studio stuff was very forgettable.

I'd never heard of them, but just played Luxury (Kraftwerk meets Andy Partridge's Explode Together dub side-project), A Map Of You (very ahead of it's time, almost ambient sounding-clear Eno influence), Sanctuary (more classic pop, but with a foresighted eye on what that would sound like for the next 10 years) and This World of Water (reminds me of XTC a lot..it is a bit nuts!). They strike me as a pop band that wasn't popular, like Denim. I have little doubt that they'd have been bigger if they'd been active in the last 5-6 years than they actually were! The bloke out of Metronomy probably loves them.


This is my favourite Andy-Partridge-mental-breakdown song which vaguely reminds me of some of their weird noises: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypAoSwOuhwU

What?! They played all those? Did they say why? They were great, well it was really just Tony Mansfield (look him up). I was really taken with them at school as Mansfield used to wear a boiler suit on TOTP. No, they weren't really popular with only really Living By Numbers being a "hit". They were really early pioneers of using effects on their vocals. Brilliant.

No, they were just some that I found on Youtube. It was you that was playing them, remember!

All you SISU morons who claim ACL couldn't organise a ***** in a brewery, eat your words ! THIS is why SISU are sooooo desperate to get their hands on the Ricoh.
ACL stand firm - no deals with crooks !!!!! No way does ACL need twopencehalfpenny rent from SISU when they can fill the Ricoh with their own events - 4 concerts a year is probably worth more than 20 x SISU's rent "offer/demand". :claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:

Just a shame it was allowed to be built in a crap place!

Just listening to wave 105 in the south, the dj went to the gig the other night, he advised never ever go to the Ricoh for a gig, they couldn't organize the proverbial in a brewery

Must be true then.

But then again, what do southerners know about the north.

So shock horror, people go to a stadium concert and moan that there is a lot of traffic and they had to wait for a bus. More of a reflection on the British propensity to moan about almost anything than a reflection on the ricoh.
P.S it took me 25 minutes just to get off the prologis estate after work, acl barstewards.:whistle:

So the women who came over from the States to watch him said that she loved it friendly people lovely place was wrong.
OH and has that DJ ever been to Wembley? If you chose to park in the venue car park what do you expect I have been to the NEC many times if you get out within the hour you must have left early you have to walk for 15 minutes to get to your car

This entire 'I've found a person who likes it so it's good' 'no, here's a person who hates it so it's bad' crap is the kind of logic that a primary school child would be embarrassed by. Jesus Christ, people.
