It's interesting. I was just listening to the Lush 3 single the other day. Hadn't played it for a loooong time, and I was amazed how much the CJ Bolland remix (Lush 3.5) sounds like 808 State, specifically the opening notes. I'd been listening to 808 State earlier in the night and thought Pacific 707 had come on again for a minute!

Speaking of which, I have a spare copy of the Lush 3 CD single. I imagine most people on here probably already have one themselves, but if anyone's interested in trading anything or something, feel free to PM.

I ran into a strange thing.
On the same day as the video on New France was released a child did lost his lion in our staircase :)

BTW, After I have listened to all three releases that have been made from Wonky I mus say that all three songs lift each other up in an interesting way. Each song itself is really good, but after listening to all three songs they have actually got even better

From that FMV review: "a taste of the dark experimentation seen on 2001’s The Altogether – an album that became known for its raw, challenging edge" - what?!

Yeah, I did a bit of a double-take there too.

Wheres your review then Shady?
...sounds like you are already familiar with the album, I think you'd be more than qualified to critique :P
