It seems like I've been waiting years for this album to come out and technically it hasn't yet, but I managed to get hold of the leak of the Late of the Pier album Fantasy Black Channel. What has rather disappointed me at first was the reappearance of old albeit re-recorded stuff such as Random Firl, but the album more than makes up for it.
Highlights include the first two tracks, which are just superbly linked into each other; the complete surprise of finding the new version of Random Firl to have actual lyrics; Focker for its sheer awesomeness - especially with the last 35 seconds; those three deliciously funky minutes they call Mad Dogs and Englishmen and it's surprising last 30 seconds; and the hidden track's a nice little slice.
7/10
