With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

I have not played any of Stuarts great music for a while.
Gradually orking my way through this for the first time, when I have chance to listen to a few tracks.
It does have a brick walled sound as many have commented, but the songs are OK, I wouldn't say it is a patch on anything from the 90's or earlier, but it is OK by their recent standards.
On vinyl (with free 7' tacked on)
Here we go again. Another Thunder Storm and heavens just about to open.

Its a right pain having three Sat dishes to unplug.
