Sinister: Production Beef

[Sam Walton]

Hello

Forgive me Sinister, I sinned. You may have read my slightly truncated post 
which I sent in the small hours of last night. Needless to say, it was only 
for Javi's eyes, and not for yours, lacking as it did the characteristic 
charm and charisma that normally peppers my posts. Or something. Needless to 
say, drink had been taken, and there was resulting confusion between the 
"reply" and "reply all" buttons. As I said, Sinister, forgive me.

But since I'm here, and I'm not really into grovelling for any more than is 
necessary, I thought I'd throw in my two pence about The Life Pursuit. But 
then I thought that actually it's slightly pointless, as everyone here will 
have an opinion, and hey - mine's just another. All I will say is that I 
know there's lots of gnashing of teeth about it not having that DIY 
production of the first two albums, but isn't it time we all moved on? I 
mean, it'd be a bit harsh to expect someone of Struan's personality to sit 
still and live out a groundhog day of releasing beautifully flawed records 
for the rest of eternity. We already have two incredible albums and four EPs 
like that, and surely if the band can move on then we can too, right? The 
whole transformation of the band - talking to the press, releasing proper 
singles, doing proper tours - just makes me feel quite proud of them really; 
it's like watching a nervous, introverted, spotty teenager blossom into a 
well-rounded, interesting and confident grown-up.

Anyway, that's just my thoughts. Dear me, Sinster, this post is nearly as 
drab as my list of albums mistake post. Sorry. Maybe I just lost my touch 
somewhere. Maybe I never had it in the first place.

Answers on a postcard.


love

Asm.x
