from allmusic.com:
One of the most beloved British pop bands of the '80s and '90s, Prefab Sprout has had a minimum of chart success in the United States, where they're all but unknown outside of their devoted cult following, but singer/songwriter Paddy McAloon is regularly hailed as one of the great songwriters of his era. Critics regularly compare McAloon favorably to Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, and even Cole Porter, but the self-effacing and publicity-shy performer modestly prefers to let his increasingly rare albums speak for themselves.
Just picked up the new album this afternoon. It is brilliant to the nth degree! Thanks so much for bringing the mighty Sprout back into the present. Also, please, oh please, consider doing a tour.
Good morning! Your new CD is really great! Fantastic sound! Keep up the good music! You have still a lot of fans here in Hamburg! Are you touring in Germany in the near future? Have a nice weekend! Greetings Friederike
Love the 'new' CD (God Watch Over You, Music Is A Princess, Falling In Love, and Sweet Gospel Music are my early favorites). I play it constantly. Keep raiding the vaults! And how about a deluxe SACD hybrid re-issue of Jordan The Comeback - imagine that in 5.1 surround sound...
Just wondering why you haven't updated this site in yonks?Shouldn't you be screaming from the rooftops about the new cd?Possible tour dates,general info?
