Main listens this week have been for:

John Foxx - The Garden. Not quite the cool dystopia of his first solo album, but there's some great tunes on this, especially the closing title track.

Madness - Oui Oui Ja Ja Si Si Da Da. Taken me ages to get around to this one, which seemed a bit of an anti-climax when it came out, after the sprawling and often brilliant ...Norton Folgate set. But there's some winners here, particularly "Never Knew Your Name". In places it slips into the Old Man Ska of their Dangermen album, but it's an enjoyable listen throughout.

Otherwise:

Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates of Dawn

Josef K - Young and Stupid
The Teardrop Explodes - Wilder (2 CD)
Orange Juice - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever
The Pop Group - We Are Time
Pet Shop Boys - "West End Girls" (Bobby 'O' original 12")
A-ha - Stay On These Roads
The Cure - "Love Song" CD single

A Certain Ratio - Four For The Floor EP
The All Seeing I - Jockey Slut EP

Nils Frahm - Unter/Uber
Section 25 - Retrofit
V/A - Return To The Dark Side Of The Moon
CTMF - "Punk Rock Enough For Me" 7" (contender for single of the year)
Helen Love - "Pogo Pogo" 7"
Map 71 - "Standing/Specimen" 7"
Interpol - El Pintor
Half Man Half Biscuit - Urge For Offal

"John Foxx - The Garden. Not quite the cool dystopia of his first solo album, but there's some great tunes on this, especially the closing title track."

I remember rushing out to buy the LP of The Garden the day it came out and was mightily perterbed on listening that it wasn't Metamatic PT.II
Think the only tracks I could bare to listen to was Euroupe After The Rain (the the 7" single version was always better) and Dancing Like A Gun,,,the rest was dead to me. In fact I gace away my original vinyl in a huff of disgust. Quite like most of the album now I've mellowed in me dottage,

Is that Pet Shop Boys 'We Are Time' track a Pop Group Cover Version? ...be curious to hear it if it is.
Doh, just re-read your post, forget it, wires crossed...didn't have me glasses on...though would still love to hear them do it :)
