Tomberry,
Does this mean you haven't got 'altitude' yet?
If not and its decent production you're looking forward to then prepare to 
be dissapointed!

'Raise the roof' is piss poor production, it sounds weak and tepid as 
compared to the live shows.
Ruins a fine song.

'Up in a down world' though is a different story, thats well done and has 
a magical middle building up the tension before crashing back into the 
chorus.
The low fi still works well on the super 'star below' - (does anyone know 
if Gerald just added his words to an already formualted song?) and the 
haunting Hexanal.

But the production is patchy throughout, the result of it being recorded 
in different places in different times I guess.

'Swagger remastered' though is a bloody hoot, lordy but that sounds good 
all over again!

There again you liked 'here comes the queen' so may rave about the album!

Takes all sorts to love the 'planes! And thats why we love 'em! Nothing 
uniform here.

Record Player but  I can't stand the production, the 'lo-fi' thing only 
worked for  me on 'Here Comes the Queen'. I hope Altitude is better 
because Raise the Roof  and Beautiful Is, I've been waiting ages for and 
am hoping for something with  the production qualities of Life Model where 
Broken and Mended and Smart Drug  (and Backing Singers) really sound good 
when you put them up to 11 (sorry,  spinal tap jibberings).
  
 I wonder if EMI would fork out to  re-record/repackage it (Record 
Player)? That's what I'd like, anyhow. They only  have to do Paper 
Plane/Had it All/Hush/I Need.  Just do the ep for me,  that's fine. -Then 
reform and sign up Cud, they can do the same there and  perhaps with 
Citizen Fish............................
  
 Enough of my blurting.
  
 Best
  
 Tom.
