Rhombus

Sorry to those who already know this. I was glancing over Rhombus's review page and I notice that not one of the reviews mentioning '4472' notices that it's the geekiest goth track ever.

I am hoping they will do a complete album of songs like 60007, 3672, 71000 etc but then I am a big nerd.

Ah, that it did.

TBH, I still have massive sympathy for their very early days. "Aradia" is one of my favourite tracks ever. And I like their obvious Marillion fandom. But I think they probably stopped while it was still fun, which was a good thing to do. I saw them live a fair few times, but never enough.

[damerell]

So do I! I still listen to "Veil of Tears" and "In Amber". I can think of other bands who've run as long who've never done a duff album - but they're a small minority.

If they did a reunion tour I'd be so there.

PS also they hated Thatcher which never hurts.

[nanaya]

Well, they were/are Scottish, so the Thatcher-hate is entirely logical ;-)

"Forget the arrangements for her funeral; we'll use the money to buy everyone in Scotland a shovel and they'll dig a hole deep enough to send her back"?

I just wish there were slightly more of us left who'd sooner fellate a chainsaw than vote Tory. Christ, how fast do people forget?

[nanaya]

I really can't imagine ever voting Tory, even though I generally dislike the tub-thumping political tribalism which dominates in this country.
