Richie, Theprogster, totally agree with you both. I am fifty and the amount of new / recent stuff I have in my collection is actually exponentially more than I have got into in the last thirty-five years or so. In 2013 I think there were in excess of twenty new releases that I bought from newer acts that I buy, along with a new releases from established mainstays that I still buy. Never been better in terms of choice but a shame it is almost all ignored by R6 et all.

Are the “Barn Jams” the same ones that were briefly available (as MP3 downloads) to purchasers of the “Live in Gdansk” boxed set? Though I bought that box less than a year after its release, the downloads were no longer available.

Richie…I totally agree with you regarding new music coming out yes there’s a lot of good stuff that the general public never get to hear…A good proportion of it is really good but never charts…one classic example is the 80’s UK new wave band THE FIXX who have released 10 studio albums to date and are still going 35 years later !! take a listen to their most recent album from 2012 called ‘Beautiful Friction’ which is a cracking album…included in the band are Cy Curnin on vocals who sets the mood and with some fantastic guitar soundscapes from the great Jamie West-Oram…come on superdeluxeedition subscribers get your ears around THE FIXX they are a fantastic band who deserve more recognition.

I also say no to double glazing salesmen too. know thyself. look, I bought ‘World Music’ by Goat that is fairly new Swedish psychedelia and I do buy the odd new artist release when I naturally hear something good that grabs my attention. but in the main- we have a largely culturally bereft generation which i have largely no interest in hearing the witterings of. there will always by exceptions of course- bring me a Fall, Killing Joke or Funkadelic then i’ll listen. maaan.

let’s be thankful quality artists still knock out the odd new release. because the irrelevant garbage that passes for new music these days would be the main reason why a lot of us go after re-issues and deluxe versions of former favourites.

Anyone else hearing “Billie Jean” in it? Cool with me! :)

Well it does sound a little laid back, and judging by some of the comments above no one seems to be very impressed with his forthcoming album, i
guess most fans were hoping or expecting a lot of “Floyd” influences
but sad to say the chances are pretty slim. I would imagine once again his wife no doubt would have influenced a lot of the material hence the pedestrian sounding song, if it wasn’t for David’s guitar on the title
track i most likely dismissed the song, and the rest of the album?

@ The Progster

Please view the video about what the title is a metaphor for. As for having a connection to sitting in traffic jams, er well yes I guess. But I’ve also stepped in dog pooh a few times during my life too – do we get a song about our connection with that domestic hiccup from Mr Rea as well? Something’s are so mundane as to not really need a song written about them. Yes, a lot of cars are bought on credit. Thanks for pointing out the bleeding obvious Chris next …..

Still not loving the title track. I’m getting the basic version of the album as it is with the concert tickets. It will need to be better than I expect in order for me to justify getting the deluxe version.

We all have a connection with traffic snarl ups here and there…but rattling locks isn’t that leading to a bit of breaking and entering? Hahaha

Or alternatively could say that DG would not stoop so low musically as to sing about sitting in a car in the middle of some stupid traffic jam?

DEAN…I totally disagree with your comments about DG sounding like a reincarnated 1980’s Chris Rea…In fact he was more than capable of putting out some damn fine albums before he got over obsessed with the blues on his last few albums….Chris Rea wouldn’t even stoop so low musically to sing about rattling some stupid lock…check out the classic ‘Road To Hell’ album from 1989 and listen to every track there is not a duff track on it…I couldn’t imagine even DG coming up with such a stockingly brilliant album.

Really looking forward to the Full colour label…

Pluses: That’s a nice deluxe versions with some good books and full lyrics. The added bits and pieces are nice to have too.

Minuses: At £25 at this time, it’s perhaps a bit pricey. And I can’t get away from the fact that the title track played over that video was seriously disappointing. It’s like Chris Rea from the 80’s has been reincarnated. Poor.

That is a well thought out SDE in my opinion, as was the last PF album. I have grown to like the title track a lot too. Hope the rest of the album is as good. The price of the 2 disc set on DG’s store is £16 + p&p – so probably a little bit more than Amazon’s £18.99 all in.
