I don't really get the Lit series.

It's like, here's some poems which are not quite as new and interesting as Gerard's, and here's some music which isn't quite as new or as interesting as The Blue Aeroplanes, and here's a really complicated procedure for getting hold of it.

The first one has its moments but when the dust has settled they seem to be moments created by The Blue Aeroplanes and not by Bob Dylan at all. The second is basically dreadful. The fourth is a great concept and was nicely part of a big Blake celebration. The third is a triumph. A triumph because Autumn Journal is an excellent and under-rated piece with which The Blue Aeroplanes had already impressed us, and because the music was quite nicely done reworkings of Blue Aeroplanes stuff.

So, what we really like is The Blue Aeroplanes. We see to be waiting too long for these 'new albums' and when they come along, as a result, they lack the sense of unity and shape which we really want. I think we have now learned that a website and a small, loyal fanbase will soak up small-scale recordings. So, more please.

Thanks,

And a million happy new years.

As MacNeice does not say at the end of Autumn Journal.

Philip

Hi John

This mountain is amazing! (Melchsee-Frutt, Switzerland...)

The "Lit" series is designed to be a 10 CD set. It's gonna take a few years but Gerard never stops creating so if anyone can do it he can!

There was talk of re-releasing them at some point, maybe once the series is complete but only in the normal CD jewel case format. That way the hand made gate fold limited editions stay a bit special. It would be a good idea to do a standard jewel case release with the Cheltenham album. Maybe later in the year when the new album is out?
