I'm actually listening to it for the first time right now and personally I think it sounds great -- one thing I've always enjoyed about the albums over time is how Reilly does play around with other sounds and styles while still sounding essentially himself. The more 'laptop' tracks actually make for a good blending to my ears.
Now, Tempis Fugit is the new album, correct? I've heard that as well, enjoyed it well enough.

Been listening to the 'Say What You Mean' mini-LP a lot recently. I really do think that this is the best DC. The Room, Silence & E.E are absolutely monumental.
Also I was talking bollocks on my previous post - the Amigos tracks are on the reissue of Another Setting, not Domo.

Someone wrote the title of the song in calligraphy on the inside white sleeve before I'd even bought it (used). It cost me like $4 at the time. I still have it, and play it pretty often, but that inside white sleeve is really falling apart now.

I got "LC" recently, wasn't that bothered.
What's best, if I like "Return" more than else?

Return Of... is completely instrumental, and is mostly guitar and drum machine, with a couple of tracks featuring live drums. It's quite short and sweet - only about half an hour (CD bonus tracks aside). I've never read an actual explanation of why Side 2 of the original LP was half the length of Side 1 - the label credits Guy Debord for inspiration, so I assumed it was some form of Situationist prank. Anyway, the CD is definitely worth owning even if only for the added bonus of "Lips That Would Kiss" and "Madeleine". There are few better arguments for bonus tracks than the re-issues of Return Of..., and, better yet, LC.
That what you wanted to know? :)

-- Bimble (grippledybu...), September 8th, 2004.
This includes Sleep Will Come! Which was (you're right) from that Brussels comp. Life is a beautiful thing. Are you going to make me pull those bonus tracks out HMMM?
Well why not, any excuse, really.
My friend is doing a DJ night in New York at this very moment, he does a night that is totally Manchester music. It's named Resurrection after the Stone Roses tune. He is spinning records right at this very moment. It's hard to believe.
I could talk for thousands and thousands of years about bands from Manchester exclusively, it is ridiculous. If that isn't the center of the musical universe I don't know what is.

The standout bonus track on Return of... is "Madeline" and y'all know it.
