it'll be if you love spoken words songs with piano and strings, a complete opposite to Spike Island

Well Room 29 is among my fav records ever, not just Jarvis related, so it's likely

 Yeah Room 29 is so great

HERO. And it FLAC wowooo thanx. 

It's amazing, sounds a bit more like Jarvis first solo record though. He can do no wrong with songs like those. 

If that's a bside, More is gonna be epic.

Great start like the one in Tenet within the opera, too monotone for me it lacks something maybe a climax or a clear melody, but I think it'll grow after multiple listenings

---

With any other artist, i would agree about the climax and melody. But i Dont know, Jarvis has that magic, he can sing the phone book and it sounds great. I love his soft spoken songs, he's invented that.

Yep it sounds Jarv is + Elysian Collective not really Pulp, where is Candida ?

---

Unfortunately, i think Candida cant really play anymore. From the bits i've seen (the Spike Island from Jonathan Ross), looks like her problems have gotten worse, sadly. She can do simple synths or piano bits apparently, but not complicated ones. The Got to Have Love synths parts have also been really simplified compared to the demo, maybe that's the reason ? 

My bet is there wont be too much synths upfront in the mix on More.

Reminds me a little of Quantum Theory, the last track on The Jarvis ****er Record.

---

Totally. There is also another forgotten track from that era with spoken beginning. Loss Adjuster. It's a great track in full but they decided to cut in pieces and just put bits on the record. Go figure !

There's tricks you can do.  I've seen both Edwin Collins and Dorian Cox play live after having had major strokes and having much less function.

I'd imagine someone like Jason Buckle is serving as a medium in the studio, and a lot of the live performance is done by triggering loops. 

It's brilliant that she is still involved and they are finding ways around it.
