So there I was listening to The Book of Invasions and thinking that I really ought to find out if I can get Short Stories, Tall Tales and The Man Who Built America on CD. Tower records, bless them came up good. But much more importantly than that they had news of a new Horslips album. After a 25 year silence. Is this wonderful or not?
As far as I can make out from stuff online, there’s only one new song, but there are a bunch of old songs all recorded with acoustic instruments rather than electric. There are also rumors of a tour. I shall be keeping a very close eye on the band’s web site.
Rollback isn’t as new as Tower thinks it is — we reviewed it when it came out two years ago!

Guess I missed the tour, then… But as long as I can still get the record that’s OK.
Fabulous review, by the way.
