WELCOME TO
“WE’VE STILL GOT CHAOS. NATIONAL
TREASURES? NO THANKS!”. SO PROCLAIMS
SUGGS IN OUR COVER FEATURE THIS
MONTH, HOT ON THE HEELS OF NEWS OF
A DEFIANTLY-TITLED NEW STUDIO ALBUM,
25
CAN’T TOUCH US NOW
AND UK ARENA
TOUR. NOW WHILE
ack in 2009, Madness
WE’RE OBVIOUSLY
released the superb – and
NOT AVERSE TO A
very ambitious – concept
album
The Liberty of Norton
LITTLE NOSTALGIA
Folgate.
It was a sharp reminder
HERE AT
CLASSIC POP,
of their songwriting prowess and
SUGGS’ REFUSAL FOR
a heads-up that they were very far
from being a spent force. Resting
HIS BAND TO EXIST
on their laurels? You’ve got to
SOLELY AS A TOURING
be kidding…
JUKEBOX CHURNING
That forward-looking attitude
is also mirrored in Rudy Bolly’s
OUT THE OLD HITS
superb exclusive chat this month
IS AN ATTITUDE WE
with former Bee Gee Barry Gibb.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY
Even with an untouchable back
catalogue boasting the depth,
APPLAUD. AFTER ALL,

Barry is still looking to the future
FAVOURITE BANDS STILL
with his first new studio album
since 1984. Likewise, comes the
AIM TO BE CREATIVE
return of the estimable Yello who
ARTISTS RATHER
are back with new album,
Toy,
and flush with a newfound respect
THAN DEPENDABLE
as electronic pioneers from the
ENTERTAINERS? THE
current generation of tastemakers.
FEAR OF FAILURE CAN
I always think that band and
artist comebacks are far more
BE A SUFFOCATING
satisfying when there’s fresh
BEAST AT THE BEST
material on the table. New Order’s
OF TIMES BUT IT’S
recent return to the fray has been
a thrilling renaissance in what has

career. You could hear the howls
of dejection from departed bassist
MAKE A FULLY-FORMED
COMEBACK HIT HOME.
Peter Hook for miles around. New
B
with anything in their back
catalogue – no mean feat after
35 years of active service.
Let’s face it, we all love a third
act victory, whether it be the recent
chart-topping return of Rick Astley
or the all-conquering Stone Roses,
who have taken a more tentative
approach to releasing new
material since reforming –
just the two songs in four years,
lads? Come on, pull your collective
fingers out. We really want an
autumn album…
Elsewhere this issue, we track
down Alannah Currie for an
illuminating look at what she’s
been up to since the Thompson
Twins went their separate ways,
we run the microscope over the
career of The Cure and get the
inside track on the making of XTC’s
classic album
Skylarking.
One foot in the past then and
the other in the future. Will we pull
a muscle? Don’t fret, we’ve done
our requisite number of stretches
and are ready for action...

Faced with a big-name US producer and
under huge pressure to deliver, Swindon’s
XTC battled to make what would eventually
become one of their fans’ favourite albums,
1986’s lovely, pastoral
Skylarking
ALANNAH CURRIE

It was the unlikeliest of adventures:
Thompson Twins zoomed from squat band to
art-pop megastars in 18 short months. Still
as uncompromisingly creative today, Alannah
looks back exclusively for
Classic Pop
SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR

From indie to dancefloor to esoterica, it’s

us. “All different types of cake!”
