The Dutch Uncles album is pretty good, but doesn't make me go wow!! like their first.

I'm looking forward to John Grant's follow up to Queen Of Denmark, out in March entitled Pale Green Ghosts.

What did you make of the last OMD album?

Not a lot as I recall, but I've not heard it in ages. Early signs from the new one are positive though

Hell yes. The single Pale Green Ghosts is just stunning

I have heard that and I do like it. I am looking forward to what the Gus Gus partnership will produce as opposed to the Midlake influenced one from the last album. Roll on the 11th March, have it on pre-order at my favourite record shop.

The new single sounds like a ripoff of Kraftwerk. They are one of my favourite bands, but they have often got a bit too close for comfort to being copyists of the German band.

Probably why I like it so much.

Clearly there are similarities, but I think OMD retain enough of their own charms to make it work.

They still going then?

Seem to recall owning a couple of half decent albums they put out c. 1996-98. Might dig them out and have a listen.

Hell yeah . Their first two albums were very good ,especially Only Forever which is still one of my favourite albums of all time . They then had a bit of dispute with there record label for a while but released Planet Helpless in 2002 , Don't Forget To Remember in 2007 & Solid State Recital a couple of years ago which is another great album . Check out When Your Eyes Close off the last album , It's a cracking song.
Saw them in York last year at Duchess ,Still a great live band.

Comedown Machine - The Strokes, is one im very much looking forward to. Album track One Way Trigger is a little different than The Strokes sound. I really like it. http://youtu.be/uLVuvJY_AkY
