	That's excellent news, given how much slightly over-the-top fun 
the previous Spaceseed and Bainbridge collaboration was. I'm slightly 
less joyful about Bridget's involvement--her reemergence onto the music 
scene seems to have been more of the `Black Elk Speaks' standard than 
the _California Brainstorm_ `Reefer Madness' standard alas--but there's 
no doubt that she and Harvey are currently second and third most 
productive Hawks and ex-Hawks is there? First place of course to Mr 
Davey who has not only had an album out every year (from different 
bands!) since 2006 but looks steady to have two more out this year! 
Blimey. And while I'm not so keen on Bridget's forays into electronica 
the idea of her singing Arabic on an EP with Alan's backing actually 
works quite well I think... Also, Davey-House collaboration can surely 
only be good, right? (Did *anyone* ever hear the Jellymasters album 
Simon supposedly did with Adrian Shaw?) (Gleaned almost all of this from 
Alan's webpages at aladavey.co.uk, in case it's news to the readers.)

	It's almost enough to create optimism about spacerock, isn't it? 
Roll on new Litmus album too! Yours,
				     Jon

ObCD: Farflung - _A Wound in Eternity_ (I wish they were working at 
Alan's rate...)
