Yes me too. Far more excited than I am about any of the new material Cope is likely to churn out any time soon -2012 or no- even though no doubt they'll be the one or two exceptional tracks and I'll still be ever hopeful that he'll change direction again and I'll buy the things with little question. All a bit sad but since 'You've Got a Problem With Me' I've really not been impressed.

Bring back Donald Skinner Julian FFS. Play some Rock n Roll again.



Doesn't have to be rock n roll, as long as it is head music! That's the problem I've had with the recent stuff, it hasn't pressed my *trip out* buttons. But that is just me.


Agreed! Trip outs small or large: the reasons we fell in love with him and his muse are lacking except in the odd glorious moment: 'Psychedelic Revolution' (the song) has it I think. Bits of 'Xmas in the Women's Shelter' too.

The Transcendental Cope! Where have you gone?


What you're both [and me, if you are] really saying if you read between the lines is he needs a big brew of mushies to get that psychedelic "trip out" feeling back into his music, for all we know the tracks that have "it" are maybe older songs themselves, i'd like to add that the stunning "raving on the moor" had it in spades though as well, i can "feel" a change of image coming soon though, i keep thinking what a suited and booted cope would give us, him and people like merrick have such strong and right ideas about things like the environment and the way life is going, that it sometimes seems a shame that their ideas don't reach a bigger audience [else why do they have it?], i don't mean selling out, and i certainly don't mean becoming a monster to beat a monster, but the guy has "something" and that "something" has flown under the radar [ in the underworld ] for far to long in my opinion.


Yes. But I feel Cope's recent output (Black Sheep on) all rather falls between stools (?!!) On the one hand the 'Head Music' Heads amongst us are feeling bereft while on the other an audience who MIGHT just respond to this 'Preaching Revolution' thrust of the music are unlikely hear it... so meantime we fans are just being ranted at...
