I guess it is more diverse, with Hannah, Ashley, Zoe, Tony and myself as well as some pretty great instrumentals Air For Life etc, just feels a little old now. I think the boys did very well with the curse of the 2nd album, I know a few were shocked a little by the direction of GT but for me it was a healthy evolution.

To be honest, I see Oceanlab as a very distinct project from Above & Beyond.
It being centred around Justine, soundwise it doesnt feel like Above & Beyond to me
Oceanlab is for me much more like Motorcycle or Andain for Gabriel & Dresden or Velvetine for Myon & Shane 54.

The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love
The Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico
Yes - Going For The One
Shearwater - Animal Joy
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Kevin Tihista's Red Terror - Don't Breathe A Word
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
REM - Murmur
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Bwyd Time
Uncle Tupelo - No Depression

God that took some time, I could have done it another time and I would have come up with 6 or 7 different albums.

That's what I meant! It was a good way to get away from making a "pressured" 2nd album in making the Oceanlab album

Do love Paavo hints at new stuff with Justine. Cant wait to hear it
