So maybe the initial impressions I've seen of the new Mark Stewart album EDIT (as in the two Amazon takes referred to) aren't of the "immediate all-time classic" that might have been expected, given the very impressive body of Stewart's work. (This is also his first solo album since the brilliant Control Data was released in 1996.)
The song for the new video Loner doesn't immediately captivate me as many of his songs, such as Hypnotised, Learning To Cope With Cowardice, or The Half (also can't forget his classic deconstruction of Jerusalem, the fact remains that Stewart is the kind of artist that demands some work from the listener, so I've got to take some time to find out what has inspired his latest round of musical missives. The July issue of the UK music magazine Wire featured Mark on the cover, along with the full unedited transcript of the interview found HERE.
