Well, if you count Gerard's solo album, and Rodney's album, and
Swagger, and Discs 1 and 2 of "Cavaliers", then that's 5.

I agree, Ewan.  For me, Rough Music is a good disc and all, but it
doesn't really hold me like any of the other releases.  Although it
does have PAT FISH (aka Jazz Butcher), it's just not there.  I miss the
big echoy-John Martyn-inspired waterfall guitar noises which Angelo did
so well.  (Set up fifteen delay pedals, play a D, and go to lunch... ;)

Yeah, otherwise we'll all have to listen to Fruit through our
headphones when they walk out onstage, although I am talking madness as
they're got nowhere near the following in the US to mount a tour with 8
musicians.
