The New Album was initially due to be released in September 2004, but the bands record label, Sanctuary, suggested they release a live album instead and pushed back the Studio Album release to ‘early 2005’.
(The Album is finished, there are about 16-17 tracks that have been completed and from those it looks like 11 or 12 tracks will make the cut for the album proper).
The songs that have been recorded for possible inclusion on the album are:

Title : A Hyperactive Workout for the Flying Squad |
Release date : 21st March 2005 |
Highest chart position : 30 |
I, Me, Me, Me | Free my Name |
The album is being produced by Dave Eringa. Dave has previously produced material for the likes of the Manic Street Preachers (he was their onstage keyboard player at one time), Idlewild, Ash, Starsailor, Eagle-Eye Cherry and Massive Attack, to name a few. The album was recorded at a hunting lodge up near Glenrothes, Scotland, the bulk of the work being completed mid-March 2004 time for a fortnight, and then continued for another 2-3 weeks at the end of April 2004 to fine tune the album sound.
The unusual title for the album is “A Hyperactive Workout For The Flying Squad”, this came about when, during the making of the album, they heard the phrase when listening to Radio 4 and decided they liked it.
This page will be updated when any news becomes available, look out for promo cd shots and a full review around a month before release. The Album is set to be released in March 21st 2005 on Sanctuary Records.
