Is there anybody out there?

No-one seems to have commented on Come Friendly Spacemen. Was the copy I obtained in the Virgin Megastore the only one to be sold in the UK? or did the exposure on the website blunt its impact? (fraid we're much too lo-tech here at UWB to go playing music in our offices) Anyway, I think it's great. Pat might not welcome the comparison, but there's a brilliant celebratory energy that takes me right back to the original Southern Mark Smith (the 'Meet the Pope' version). And there's a lovely guitar bit in the middle section. I can predict all the ways that the press will slag it (are there any reviews?) but I at least am happy.

Not too sure about the Sumosonic logo (a bit transamerican truck corp for me), but the sleeve is fun.

Surely someone saw them live?
