oooh could be worth going to see, thanks for telling us

Well the last one was pretty poor outside the JDB contributions and 1-2 others so maybe I'll just save myself the major trouble and just try and hear the MSP-related stuff again while leaving the rest be.

[Deets]

cool! I like his previous "work"

[Manicben]

I really quite liked the last CD, it wasn't all good but some of it i listen to quite a bit.

Thanks for the heads up.

I dunno - I wouldn't buy it if you want manics sounding stuff, I think if people buy it because of that connection they are bound to be disappointed. I like Patrick's work, so I'm keen to buy it.

I agree with this, I saw him at Leeds Festival (with about 50 others) in 1999 and he was pretty damn good.

Well yeah. I wasn't really expecting any Manics-like material from the debut outside the JDB tracks but gave it a go anyway for the fun of it, found it insufferably dull (and Patrick's poetry is pretty pish IMO too so that didn't help either).

I guess if you don't like his poetry, yeah

[wireobsessed]

I really like Patrick's stuff so this sounds good. Be great if the Hay line up is good, might just go again this year.
Its always interesting to hear other stuff by JDB and Nicky.
