Great stuff...love the Hammill quote: "We always had a complicated attitude to what we were prepared to present
in order to achieve fame and success, not entirely born out of
rationality." Is that the essence of Progressive Rock, or what? ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

Thanks! On "Do Not Disturb": "None of us are getting any younger, so we had at least the glimmer of a
thought that possibly this might be the last studio album that we do.
We’re not saying it is the last album, but that consciousness has to be
there. A lot of the writing of the stuff, especially lyrically, was
informed with that thought." I think from reading some stuff I got the idea that this would definitely have been their last album, but from this quote the possibility of more is clearly open. Not sure whether anything more reliable on the matter has been said in the meantime... we can still hope.
