I'm really looking forward to hearing the results. I was reading some of Graham's old '70's lyrics on the new Pinkflag site and (apart from being really good), it struck me that I can't imagine how one would attempt to sing them as they have a certain clipped, compressed style. This could account for Colin singing them in a manner that makes them even more impenetrable although I have no idea what the process of matching a tune to lyrics and song involves. I wonder if those characteristics will re-emerge in the new release? I always liked that.
