Down In The Park was great, I didn't enjoy the other stuff so much.
I think I preferred the old "slightly crappy" Tubeway Army sound to 
the modern, industrial perfection approach.

Does the new Murry The Hump single signify that the album is imminent?
I like the track but on a first listen I thought the production was 
a bit "nice". Still, if that's what they're after it's fine, I'm just
used to the live version after their numerous Oxford visits. I'll grow
to love it.
