Wow, I called it! All of those except for the More songs HAVE been played live, although to new people listening in, they won't know any different. For me, Seconds was a huge surprise.
That was amazing. A bit of creative license with the "never played live" but I guess we're the only feckers likely to question that. Seconds was so good - although it still missed Russ's inimitable violin-playing.
Proper order that Acrylic Afternoons finally reemerges from the shadows.
Slow Jam has sped-up since the Jarv Is...version and is maybe missing some of the subtleties of the 2021 live recordings but I think I'm probably the only one that's listened to that on repeat! The choruses really soar now with those gorgeous synths.
Really impressed with Partial Eclipse on first listen. Not one album review has mentioned it so far. I was fearing that it would be a forgettable Slush-type ballad. But encouraging on first play and looking forward to hearing it on the album.
Good to hear them finish with a bit of welly. Boyz should always be a reliable set-closer.
