The band aren't keen on Know Your Enemy though are they so guess that's why Intravenous Agnostic gets no look in....and as my least favourite album I'm none too bothered neither  Mr Bradfield seemed to think the whole thing was too rushed, in an effort to be punk and true they went too fast and didn't reflect or work as much as they should have done on the album...Intravenous does sound like throwing everything in there to be fair
(As frustrating as it can prove to be for fans - I for one am a fan of Gold which the band dislike for reasons I get whilst also thinking they should ease up on themselves - I like how they can be so critical often over critical of their past works...in many ways they feel more like authors than musicians but they refuse to bend to crowd pleasing and add anything in there 'as its a fan favourite' but rather seem bemused as to why it would be rather than precocious)

There is a rapture on the lonely shore
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more," - Byron
'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.' (from Sea Fever - John Masefield)
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all" - Emily Dickinson
