[kj] (OT) New Gang of Four album

[Brian Whitehead]

I'm a big Gang Of Four fan and had similar reservations about the new line
up for exactly the same reasons. However after seeing the new line up last
years I can honestly say I'm very happy with the new rhythm section. Thomas
McNiece especially has added a new dimension to the old songs with his bass
playing addding more of a slightly funky edge to the sound. I've yet to
digest the new songs and I'd expect that to be the acid test. I'm currently
dealing with the death of my dad at weekend so the new CD will have to wait
until I get my head back in one piece - which may take some time.

Thinking about it I can see comparisons with KJ regarding the change of
rhythm section.

Brian.

PS I'm not sure "funky" was he word I was looking for but I can't for the
life of me think of a more appropriate one.
