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.

They're playing here again in about a month. I'm always game for new G04, but in the wake of their original--lineup reformation a few years back (which resulted in a truly incendiary performance here in NYC), I'm not sure I can go back to Andy, Jon & .....two other dudes. Has anyone heard/seen the current line-up?
