Heh heh, this reminds me of those brief Phils on Bytes that many people felt 
were better than the actual tracks. 
 
I really like Not for Threes now. The first few times I listened to it made
me 
complain about how jumbled and patchworky it was. Nowadays I appreciate the 
differences in mood/style/vocals a lot more. In one of the interviews they
did 
recently, Andy or Ed talked about how travelling around the world with Bjork 
affected them, and it seems to make sense to appreciate the album partly as
a 
kind of a travelogue - a collection of various musical postcards. 
 
And does anyone else think the duo seems to be trying to make up for lost
time 
doing interviews? I see their faces in every other UK music/fashion mag  
now... Can Q or Vox be far behind? Or Spin and Rolling Stone? If Luke Vibert 
can make it into Details... 
 
Cheers,
