I'll be completely honest, I'm bustin' to hear what's been done with the N.M.A. template this time around.....
I'm currently savouring Navigatin' as type, and wonder if the new cd is going to bare any resemblance to JS's "desert albumn" to go with the "water album" he made 20013.......
This thread reminded me of gettin' a moody copy of IMPURITY on cassette in the summer of 1990. There was a bootlegger outside Reading festival who was "relieved" of his whares by a friend.

Said whares then posted up and down this sceptered isle! As you do! =) As is known, Impurity has a special place for me, and that moody copy (I still have it!), is part of it I suppose....... The whole of mid 1990 onwards has a huge importance for me.......
I think, most likely, I'd liste to Between Dog and Wolf, hell, I know I would........ But then, I have a pretty sizeable collection of releases and merch' and it's guatenteed I'll buy the new cd no matter what....... I think it's fair to say, every one on here will buy the official release, whether they get a "moody" early listen or not.......
Just to be sure tho', I'm NEVER, EVER, bootlegged a single thing I was priviledged to hear or see early. That always seemed out of the question......... Because it is. As a writer of songs, and some one who sees his own stuff downloaded on Amazon and other sites via labels who NEVER pay me a red cent, it's something I can't be involved in. I've only downloaded a few things from here, and one long deleted lp by a now defunct label of Venice California hardcore bands. Period........
