I don't get it as such a 'depressing record' , but definitely understand how one can feel that way (Mr. S).
Interesting to hear you comment that it captures a current UK attitude feel ,
One other thing that's happened in the interval since the last album is the transformation of Roisin Murphy (Moloko) from a poor man's Beth Gibbons into something quite wonderful.
"sing it back" i will NEVER tire of, which ever version.
jesus, really? i felt tired of it pretty much the first time i heard it played. but that kind of uplifting light house sound is overplayed in the uk, and has been for years, imo. give me something dark and unsettling like portishead any day of the week.

Get Down, the one with Stush doing vox and the bunnies in the vid. I meant it, I think it's awesome... Does seem entirely out of type for that outfit.
