Where did the question mark come from?

If the band are cool with it, I’ll make it available…

Really looking forward to Souls. I’ll be taping!

Rene, you legend. That’s exactly what I was looking for! Superb shots, and I certainly havent seen them around too much. Thanks!

Ok, the following are live shots (not entirely in keeping with my original post!) but are professional and certainly the best photos of the very early days:

Can anyone link me to a site which had some great recent photos of the band please? They were taken in late 2011, the lads are dressed in suits and you can see skyscrapers and sky in the background. Fantastic shots, but can’t find them now.

They actually reminded me of the great b&w shots done in 2000 for the retrospective album; all 4 lads dressed in black, the camera angled up from the gorund, lots of sky as the background etc…

Actually, this could be a good thread in which to link to professional photo shoots, as the site itself doesnt have anything new in the last 10 years or so!

Decided to play again, just to promote The Buzzing! Great track.

The very man who produced Nurse, Harvey Birrell, is the guy who has remastered Babyteeth & Pleasure Death.
Sorry, buffalo boy!

Found this acoustic/orchestral cover of “If It Kills Me”. Pretty good!

I agree with Andrey - “The Buzzing” gets better the more I hear it, best track on the album. Would fit perfectly on the sublime SP-YF!

Get well soon Dave. Hope it’s nothing too serious.

Ha, excellent! Seems Infernal Love era Therapy? lends itself quite well to artistic interpretation :)
Take a bow Anton Corbijn!

Ok, back to youtube videos…

Here’s “Little Tongues First” from Witnness Festival 2000 (this was essentially the first Oxegen Festival under it’s original name):

Great performance. I remember the gig was very rowdy - the security were extremely heavy handed, so much so that Andy stopped in the middle of a song to tell the security to calm down and stop being assholes to their friends, ie. fans. I also remember one security guy busting his ribs on the tv camera riser after a crowd-surfer fell on him, and having to be carted out on a stretcher!

Harvey Birrell decided to remaster both BT and PD himself back in 2009. He then told the band that he’d done so at a London gig later that year. They were in favour of releasing them but didnt want it to clash with their plans. It now looks like Southern Records will release them later this year. I think there’ll be a live recording included (presumably one recorded by Harvey as he was their sound man in 91/92).

Harvey Birrell produced Nurse so it’s feasible that that will get the remaster treatment as well, although it’s owned by Universal Records so they would have to give it the green light. Either way, a Nurse remaster will definately not happen this year, just BT & PD.

Some recently uploaded old classics:

Stark Raving Sane has definately grown on me, when I first heard it I thought it sounded like a OCFA b-side but I like it a lot now. The verses are great, the intro riff is cool, even the chorus is getting better, mainly due to Neil’s drumming, I think. The man is talented, no question.

Andy’s grandfather was killed in WW2 and is buried in Belgium. So yeah, the lyric probably wasn’t intended to be funny.

I reckon there will be some kind of standalone release - the fact that none of them were released with the LITSOTTT single is telling.
Maybe they will come out with those weird re-recordings they did in 2010 of ‘Meat Abstract’, ‘Prison Breaker’ etc… that would be great.

Hmm, it seems it is possible afterall for users to migrate all “likes” onto their band page.
Kerbdog managed it recently with the help of a friend of theirs (who happens to be in a band called InMe, remember them?)

Anyway, I’ve asked the guy for tips…

Ah, that explains it. It is annoying though. You’d think whoever set up the unofficial fan page would defer to the real thing!!

The one with 16k likes is the weird auto-wikipedia page, fair enough.
But whoever owns the “Therapy? - The Band” unofficial page, should really close it down - it’s sparse and out-dated, yet still shows up prominently during a search. Quite confusing to the casual facebooker who wants to check out the band.

Yeah, I haven’t hit “like” on the unofficial page, yet whenever I make comments on the official page, they automatically end up on the unofficial one?
Strange set-up, I wish they’d (facebook) get it sorted. I did hear somewhere that they were looking at it, as most bands seem to suffer the same issue.

He he, the Kerrang review was written by Simon Young, also a T? fan and has posted here before, I believe.
Still, nothing wrong with liking a band you are reviewing!

By the way, I hated Magic Mountain ha ha! I’m not just being pro-T? in my post above :-)

Artimus, I respect that you don’t like the album and that’s fair enough. However it seems to me that you talk about music as being a uniformed comodity. You say Marlow doesn’t tell a story like other instrumental bands’ songs, and that it doesn’t fit in with the album.

I like that it doesn’t sound like other bands and that it doesn’t sound like anything else on the abum.
Isn’t that the point in music as an artform? To be true to the artist who created it, and not just follow a template laid down by others?

Yeah, you’re right actually. Troublegum is a sonically excellent album which doesn’t need adjusting.

How about the 2nd disk have the b-sides tacked on after the Troublegum pre-production demo’s? Would be nice to hear the album tracks “looser” as they probably were before they recorded them again a few weeks/months later specifically for the album.

I would really like a Troublegum re-issue a la Everything Must Go / Holy Bible in a hardback triple gatefold digipack

Disc 1 : Troublegum remastered - with new liner notes and photos etc

Disc 2 : B sides and rarities - ShortSharpShock, Opal Mantra, Trigger Inside and Nowhere B Sides for example

Disc 3 : DVD of Andy Michael and Chris Sheldon discussing the making of the CD plus live footage from the time e.g TOTP, etc.

If they release this in 2014 - That would be EPIC

That’s the spirit!

The missus loves Marlow, which leads me to think T? should release it as a single. Normally when she hears a new track and likes it, it becomes a monster hit a few weeks later…

Yeah, The Buzzing really does get better with each listen.
Sounds like the bigger, older and wiser brother of ‘Other Peoples Misery’ from SP-YF.

If you still havent heard the album, someone has (already!) uploaded each track to youtube.
