Bring on the Dancing Dancing horses

[crystal89]

Now this sounds a bit more like it, get on your Dad dancing shoes!

I actually like this one.

bring on the butchered headless horses

[Dr Cheese]

No. Just no.

[JMB1982]

I am enjoying listening to these demos. Looking forward to hearing the final versions.

[Dave Smith]

When Will adds his guitar will sound mega...

[crystal89]

Out of interest if both versions of horses were put before you, and it was a brand new song, which one would you prefer?

The 1985 version is a bit overproduced, whilst the 2018 version is a little a bit more trippy.

Bring on the Dancing Horses...

Let's not...

I'm indifferent to slightly supportive of the reworkings. Supportive in the artist's whimsy sense, but a year from now, I'm pretty sure no one is going to care much. The 1983 recording of The Cutter is definitive. Twenty years from now, when the Bunnymen are no more and if they are still being played--that's the version that will be played. So Ian can do his thing, I'm happy to support him and the Bunnymen at this stage, but the extended mix is the best version of BOTDH.

And I'm still miffed how his singing is any better. There's no debate about the voice, but how is this affected singing style any less pretentious than the 80's affected singing he's always moaning about?

Agree but it only seems better to him, from what I’ve read! As I said before baffles me if he is forever writing songs why keep re hashing old ones?? Has anyone heard the new Cutter? A bit off topic for this thread but does anyone find the Q interview kind of weird?

[dodojojo]

They haven't released the new Cutter yet. I just used that song as an example because no matter what the reworking sounds like--I'm just about 99.9% sure it's not going to be better than the 1983 release. That version is classic and like I said, it will be the one that continues to be played. Same goes for TKM.

I've seen image uploads of the Q magazine but the resolution haven't been good enough to read. So I'm still hoping for a better upload. But odd interview by Ian McCulloch you say? As long as it's not the existential despair of the Mojo interview, it can't be all bad...

I just found it a bit of an uncomfortable read, weird at times, at one point the interviewer says “Q wonders if there’s a doctor in the house” when Mac was suggesting titles for his unwritten book. There’s some of the stuff he regularly reels off and quotes like “I’ve got the best voice in the history of time. Better than Sinatra’s. He would agree”, and this “I’ve made loads of mistakes. Done shit things. But I’ve broken so many world records of greatness that it doesn’t matter” A typical Mac quote I suppose but what a strange way to think, if indeed he really does believe it of course.

Jeez, that sounds like a Donald Trump interview now that I think about it!

You’re spot on! Was beginning to think it was only me who found it really weird. Hope, for his sake, it is just a quote to be clever (in his head) and not something he believes!
Saw the album is number 11 in the charts pop pickers! Would like to have known it’s true position if everyone had only bought one or two copies.
