'hope they don't rush it and we have another Democracy on our hands'

Heh thought exactly the same when I heard the news of another album. There
are, what, 5 or 6 songs
from the AD recordings that are unreleased? So they are halfway there
already.
Yes I'm surprised about the omissions - understand about the Raven-ness of
certain albums but
surprised that Geordie and Paul seem to have no great desire to revisit more
Fire Dances/Night Time stuff.
Never been a great Extremities fan so that doesn't bother me at all but
considering its popularity it is
also surprising. (Would die to hear Termite Mound, however.)

And I know I wouldn't be complaining had I been at the shows this time
round. I'm just whingeing!
