I've got it, but I haven't really listened to it yet. I know it's
criminal but there are so many good albums and singles coming out these
days (and old albums I'm discovering late) that I can hardly keep up
with my own collection. I love all the Lionrock singles I own, however.
Unfortunately every time I hear them live on the radio or whatever their
new rocky direction sounds terrible - mainly because whatever the great
Justin Robertson may be, he is NOT a good guitar player.

>Bomb the bass' new album is also very good.
New Album ?!? - I must have missed that one.

That's because One Inch Punch suck (more god-awful guitar playing)
Tim Simenon produces Depech Mode these days but you'd have to check the
latest album out for yourself as I haven't heard much of it. They do get
good artists for the remixes though - the last two singles had mixes by
Andrea Parker, Hardfloor, Underworld and Motorbass amongst others. One
thing to look out for though is "In Your Room" an old single which has a
superb Portishead mix one of the vinyl releases - you'll have to look at
the small print to find it though as the name of the mix gives no
indication of who its by (whilst the sleve notes credit Geoff Barrow).
This fact should make it quite easy to pick up as no-one ever realises
who the mix is by.

Another good T Simenon produced single is "You made me the Theif of your
heart" by Sinead O'Conner, (Bono, Gavin Friday and Jah Wobble are also
credited) from the soundtrack to "In the Name of the Father"
