Listened to it on the way to placement this morning. loving most of it. Divine youth sounds like it should be in a Disney movie.....well georgia's part anyway. I bet nicky watched frozen when he was writing it.


favourite song has to be sex, power, love and money.

I wish there were more Europa Geht... type songs. For me that remains the only real krautrock song on the album, as I understand it.

I like it but it just seems really out of place, so much so that it is a bit jarring... That chorus is fantastic though.

Highlights for me so far are Let's Go To War, Next Jet To Leave Moscow, Dreaming a City and the title track. Along with Europa and Walk Me To The Bridge of course, but I was already well familiar with them.

There aren't any weak tracks on there though in all fairness.

Well yeah, but it's not a Krautrock Album!
It just has influences.

I'd probably re-structure it a little certainly. I'd probably drop Mayakovsky altogether mind, chuck Empty Motorcade in there somewhere and end on Dreaming A City. Haven't decided on my ideal final tracklisting yet!

Yay!


Incidentally, If you have trouble getting your CDs out of the sleeve of the deluxe: I think the issue is the amazing properties of friction. Slip a piece of card (avoid any sharp-edges scratching your CD though) between the bottom of the CD and the sleeve, and your CD will slide out really easily.
