Two years ago B.A. Robertson also released a new version of the Mechanics hit The Living Years.

This version of the first hit by Mike & Mechanics, dedicated to the Ukrainian people for the occasion, makes me discover the dramatic lyrics that I had never read carefully!
same here ... sometime it's amazing what music can do - and how fitting lyrics can years and years later
-
One of their all time classics - and it was a monster during the recent tour. 14 from me ...

"Boatman's Call" by Nick Cave & the bad Seeds
"Scratch My Back" by Peter
"Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen
to name just a few

I hope Phil will do one more album. But that's just hope. I think he has now retired for good.
-
Yup. They completely should of got Peter, Ant and Ray on stage for that one. "Was it you?" "Or was it me?!" "Or was it X? Or.....*ominous silence* ... Z???"
they never were such a band. Would have been something, no question!
About the article: I agree to most of the author's comments. But I must say I can't stand "Domino" any more. Not sure why ...

WOW - what a great piece of work!
Are you planning to do a Collins compendium as well?
-
I hope the Cologne shows will happen! Is there a deadline for a final decision regarding the German shows?
-
Am not THAT familar with his earlier work, but have a couple of albums and do like To watch the storms, Guitar noir and also the new one!
-
I only have the first Archive albu, so this set might be a good addition to my collection. Not a die hard Ant fan, but there's some interesting stuff on this one!
-
Planning to be in London and Leeds. Not sure about Leeds yet, hope it'll work out for me.
Leeds didn't work out, hoping to be in London.
In addition, going to see them in Cologne and Amsterdam. Really excited now!
-
I take it this means you didn't like these books?
As they are birthday presents, I didn't have to spend the money. If I find I don't like them, I'll deal with it. A friend of mine tells me Volume 2 is just opinions, not facts.
both books are great and Mario is a respected fan / journalist.

This has to be Watcher … play it loud!!! What an atmosphere!
From the later albums I’d pick Behind the lines!
-
Wonderful interview. I am not the biggest Wilson fan but this made me bit curious. Obviously there’s a great vibe between Ray and the interviewer (chapeau!).
I also read the album review. “Almost famous” seems to be a simple pop song but the review puts that one in perspective of the whole album. So it’s always strange what single can do or not. And not always they are good examples for albums. Seems to be the case here…
-
The package looks really good (ok, the cover image is a bit simple but anyway…)
The new track is okay, nice to hear Steve sing that way. Will buy the album … as every Hackett rock album. But I must admit - his last really great one, imo, was Guitar Noir
-
I will buy it - I collect this stuff and this will add up nicely on my shelf. Whether or not this is a useful release for fans… not sure. I don’t care really. I can decide what to buy and what not. So they make an offer and we say yes or no.
But obviously most of us would be more excited about board tapes or a Lamb boxset (what happened to that by the way?)
-
Stubborn management will have to accept reality of UK and postpone all the dates. Or maybe they should just keep the dates and change the venues to Netherlands or Poland or Ukraine. Anyway, I expect an official statement next week. Late as always.
not sure if they are stubborn. If the UK will get back to normal 100% by mid September, the shows are possible. In the end they have to accept what the government decides. Numbers don't look that good right now, that's right...
-
uhhh
quite expensive. Are those box sets sealed / new?
-
"Modern Love" is my favorite - he didn't do many songs in this style
Then: "Flood" and "Humdrum"
-
I am much more excited by this cover which refers to lyric abstraction.
does it? Please explain ...
