Nope. Didn't even know it was out as a matter of fact. I did post a few
weeks ago about the 12" that preceded it (I forget the title) but sadly
to no response.

Yes, the LP is called "A Users Guide" and I'm dying to hear it. I really
really rate their stuff - the last LP was excellent and Every Man and
Woman is probably my favourite record full stop. As a band they should
be up there with Orbital, Black Dog, Aphex etc but instead they remain
criminally underrated. Not much press or promotion for the new LP either
by the looks of things, but it's good that they're out of all that label
wrangling with Blanco Y Negro.

Dunno. I thought they were still going strong before the new Ultramarine
LP, but come to thing of it they don' seem to have put much out of
late...
