hi guys, looking forward to the rest of this project, have followed your endeavours from the start and was lucky enough to support shriekback at the escape club in brighton some moons ago! we were the jungle and we had the gig of our lives! i remember speaking with dave in mutual appreciation and it would be cool if you check our site myspace.com/toxicshockrockmusic. the tune ‘fire sleeps’ is a revamp from then, some songs just won’t go away!

Hi Dave,

A convert since the mid-80s for your distinct, unconventional unique way of writing and creating your TM music (Entertainment and Solid Gold album). I’m thrilled and excited to the much awaited Go4 reunion!!!

The raw demo sounds good so far but will highly anticipate the finish product and thanks for making it available to listen to the whole process of it!!!–couldn’t wait to hear for more so good luck..:)

Looking at other ‘Moose threads - there’s something vague from Hugo you re-printed a while ago, with you saying he’d beaten you to an ‘official position’ on it. What is the official position? Is there another forum? If there is, can you direct us to it…does he have a website? If he’s been sacked, shouldn’t you guys announce it and say why? It’s not like he isn’t as much a part of the band as you, time-wise. Sorry - it just seems it’s come up a few times and this is about the only forum there is!
Good demo’s, anyway…

@stevef Steve I’m deliberately not commenting on Hugo’s situation as I feel he should address it and also this is not the forum for it. Suffice to say that Mark Heaney is drumming for Gang of Four now.

It sounds good, Mark - but why isn’t Hugo playing, has he left the band?

@scott

hey yo. i’m struggling with your statement that “How we think changes how we act.” is essentially backwards. your main argument is that thoughts are worthless. huh? and then relating that to superstition just confused me more.

i find it equally valid to think and then act and vice versa. one does not seem obviously invalid over the other.

Thanks to the band for putting the creative evolution in our ears. Rare insight to rare insight. Motivated by Go4 since ‘79, excited by the new energy, eager for more. Thanks again.
