Yes to Fruit.....it has it's lack lustre moments to be sure...but worth
it for Daughter Movie, ..and Stones and Pony Boy...that's not to say
that it falls way short of what gerard et al are able to do live and a
big yes to FLP2....be gentle on be prosecutor...I work for the BBC and
we're all a bit 'Fragile' at the moment !

Just to keep the debate going, I vote NO to 'Fruit' but YES to 'FLP2'.
It's chock-full of great tunes, and the odd duff one, which is a pretty
good ratio in my book.  Richard - council for the prosecution?

Also, am I the only one who listens to the Art Objects LP and, at times,
thinks...'prog rock'... To me this is not a bad thing, but maybe that's
one of the reasons Gerard is against it!
