back to massive attack......<BR> <A HREF="http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,889908,00.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,889908,00.html[/url] <P>Well the guardian does not entirely approve either and I guess if it was a new album by a new band it would either get a real roasting or be completely ignored.<P>Still with a back-catalogue as good as theirs, well I want to find out for myself what it is like.

I had forgotten about Penthouse. What a great disc. Hopefully Luna will come around again soon.
