It isn't. It's the exact same track as 20 years ago.

About the production: it can probably be regarded at the same level as the My Dad's A Birdman music.

I feel similarly regarding this year's releases. It reminds me of the Nightlife / Release era, where the instrument/sound selection was strange.

Retro. :)
What are you on about? Nightlife had a great production and still sounds fresh. My word! Some petheads are so blinkered!

I'm not so sure. Friendly fire was probably rerecorded.

Yes, Friendly Fire is a rerecording. Run Girl Run not so much.

The stage dimly light. Drico saunters to the microphone. Cigarette between his yellowing fingers, clutching a whiskey sour to his bosom.

In the queeniest of voices, he smoulders:

I'd offer the fact that they continue to work with a low-rent collaborator like Harvey - a man for whom one cheap cliche is never enough when two will do instead - is more damning.

I was talking about the orchestration, not the production. Perhaps if you weren't so blinkered, you may have been able to comprehend this?

Kind regards.

    You really have to be amazed at how prolific Neil and Chris are. I cant think of any artist who puts out so much new material. main albums, B-sides, collaborations, side projects, musicals. I cant think of anyone really.
