Shelley /Devoto Buzzkunst

Anybody heard the above yet ?

I've never been a big Shelly/Buzzcocks fan, but love Devoto and Magazine. I was just curious which of the two if either has the biggest influence on the sound of this record.

Its actually quite a nice combination of them both. Has quite a big electronic bias to the music - I guess a follow on to what Shelley was doing with Homosapien. But Devoto's lyrics and singing give it a very recognisable Magzine type feel.

I think it actually works very well - sounding quite up to date, while at the same time managing to keep the elements that you liked from the old days.

Thanks Steve,

Guess I'll be out at the weekend trying to hunt this one down.

Well I still haven't been able to track down a copy yet, so I cant pass comment.

Though I will probably like it more if it is more magazine sounding that shelly/buzzcocks.

Hows this one maturing...?
If its half as good as The Correct Use of Soap i'll gladly pay 50 quid for a copy

Does anybody know if this is out on vinyl or just CD ? Going to try and hunt it down again at the weekend.

Only available on CD. Selectadisc in London confirmed this.

I bought it this week, and it is the waiting to be played pile of CDs.

Hasn't Peter Shelley blobbed out ? (Handbags and dawn alert)
