The Delivery Man, followed closely by Momofuku then When I Was Cruel.

Please keep the reviews coming, I havent been this keen on hearing a new EC release scince ATUB. Anyone know where any clips or the odd full track might be lurking??
I've even considerd getting the lps, but It seems thats not easy In the UK, & It must be 20 years scince I bought Vinyl.

The first one I bought when It was released, mainly because of the Macca connections & the review It got In Q mag, I was blown away by It 14 years ago (Is It really that long ago !! ) & still was last night when I played It. Not a bad song on It & still remains my fave. 1.SO LIKE CANDY 2...
