Not to mention the new Lilac Time album, "Lilac 6", which I'm surprised nobody on the list has mentioned. It's pretty good, more in the vein of the last album than the earlier stuff. In fact, I prefer it to "Looking for a Day in the Night," as it isn't as spare sounding. The Japanese pressing, which for some reason I was crazy enough to pay more for, comes with a 4 track bonus disc of a live performance in 2000 which ain't bad either. And anyone that likes burbly electronic Christian music (a narrow demographic, I realise) might pick up the new Joy Electric album, "White Songbook - Legacy volume 1", which is a great throwback to early Erasure/Human League stuff, entirely done on analogue synth. The lyrics aren't beat-you-over-the-head proselytizing, either, which is good as I don't think I could tolerate that.

I like it alright, but I like the stuff from ten plus years ago better, i.e. "Paradise Circus" or "Astronauts." (now that I'm old, fat and stodgy) Oh, has the world changed or have I changed? However, Duffy's "I Love My Friends" was very enjoyable from the get go. This one is taking some time to grow on me, kind of the way Felt's "Me and a Monkey on the Moon" did. Not immediately catchy and accessible for these ears, but not everything can (or should) be a three minute Go-Go's song from 1981.
