Prefab Sprout

From September 2009

17 year after its original conception Let's Change The World With Music by Prefab Sprout was released on Monday. A collection of more heart-stoppingly beautiful songs I cannot imagine. Maybe doubt's a modern disease but I never thought I'd hear Paddy McAloon sing God Watch Over You. But there it is, track 4, and it just about brought tears to my eyes. (Or my ears?)

There are links to some reviews of the album at the foot of this piece but to paraphrase the liner notes of the CD:

For robust and unsentimental reasons, thank you Paddy McAloon.
For the good times.
