The thing is, every post-King release would sound better with the raw sound this demo has. Dreampop-punk production never did any good to GoF.

I just read that Andy Gill's widow, writer and activist, Catherine Mayer claims that he probably died from Coronavirus following his tour with performances in Beijing on November 22 then Shanghai the following night. His cause of death was officially reported as multiple organ failure and pneumonia. That means he may have been one of the earliest Covid-19 casualties in the UK.

I watched an interview with Hugo Burnham on youtube the other day and he's a little sceptical about that; in fact he used the phrase - toward Andy's widow - that she was "trying to get some purchase [out of it]", which surprised me a little, but there you go, Covid19 has become strangely political. Perhaps they just don't see eye to eye on things in general, who knows. There's been some spikiness concerning Andy's decision to continue using the Gang Of Four moniker as the single remaining member, and I agree with the others that perhaps he could have named the project something else for that reason. The Gill/King material is better, esp. 'Shrinkwrapped' from 1995 imo. That said, it's all done with now. RiP Andy, one of the most important rock musicians of the 20th Century. Here's that interview with Hugo in case anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCLSkGSC0tw&t=2116s

Childhood is when you idolise "Entertainment". Adulthood is when you realise that "Solid Gold" makes more sense

Despite all the irony about Gang Of One, it's pretty impossible to deny how important and influential Andy was. "It's not so bad in the promised land". R.I.P.

There are plenty of guitarists, but to have such a distinctive and recognizable guitar style is quite a feat. It's a compliment to Andy that it gets copied a lot. I'm glad I got to see him play in person. Rest in peace, Andy.

Пожалуй, интеллектуальность-продуманность-эстетичность будут здесь основными синонимами, по этим параметрам мало кто сравниться способен, и вообще, как были хорошей группой - так ей и остались: не знаю, чем реюнион стольким людям не угодил, но я на всех крайних альбомах нахожу для себя приятные моменты.

Content хороший. Реюнион Энди Гилла со своей гитарой и тремя левыми чуваками - ошибка, да.
