Still nothing fromm Miles eh. :_) Yo Temple. Advance.net dude. Let your contacts know - and thanks for the review. - Temple PS No, really, you give others that contact advice but rarely do you do it yourself. Do it. (Godfather's Pizza jingle in my head now).

Thanks Temple, very anxious to hear this. I met them and hung out for a while before a show at the Roxy in Hollywood in the early-'90s - really great live band but Miles was a total prick. Sounds like he still is, which musically is swell. I wrote some about all that here

I've been a long-time compadre with Miles Hunt and The Wonderstuff, and that they have a new album is wonderful. They, like a lot of other UK groups were much more popular in Canada than in the US. I even have an "Idiot" toque. One of the problems the band had was how to grow old gracefully. It sounds like they haven't succeeded.
