New album's due around September apparently . Hope it's a return to form after 100th Window which was a Sinead O'Connor album in all but name (apart from the excellent Butterfly Caught). But I'll certainly get it regardless - great band.

September! Flippin awsum! I am bit pensive bout da new album im gona get it,da wild bunch live on

yah me lav mesiv atak

one of the finest electronica outfits around! can't wait on their new work! there is almost always something on their albums that hits the mark!

In a way it's a shame that Blue Lines was SO influential - it kickstarted so many new genres and the careers of bands who picked up the Blue Lines ball and ran with it, often taking it further into even more exciting directions, that the original seminal work now sounds kinda cliched and dated. Every vibe and mood on the album was examined and expanded on in subsequent years.

If you were making a list of the most important albums of the 90s it'd have to be in there, but to listen to at home the sound IS overfamiliar for the reasons given above (and the tv trailer ubiquity of Unfinished Sympathy). BTW - the Mad Professors rework of Protection (No Protection) is an essential purchase for fans.

They were touring this year, i love all their songs :) best trip hop band i reckon

A bit of misinformation by young garion earlier, as I've found out from Planet Sound that the album originally mooted for September will now be released in February *sob*. Still, it'll give us something to look forward to through the winter months. New single 'Splitting the Atom' featuring the never less than excellent Horace Andy will be released on October 5th.

been beaten to it, the album has been pushed back. Going to see them next month though, word is that they will play album, or at least stuff that's being considered, material.
