After a lengthy absence and without fuss or
fanfare, Mick Jones and Tony James return,
in their Carbon/Silicon guise, with a
gentle, understated new song, 'Big
Surprise', which is accompanied by a simple, but classy video, filmed on the cold streets
of West London.
Spent much of this weekend talking about bands whose recorded output never matched the urgency of their live gigs. And The Carbs got a mention. I saw them many many times and when they played Magic Suitcase I used to get goosebumps; however, the studio version was soulless and dull.
Does this mean they'll be playing again sometime soon?
John. I know what you mean. Some of their early 'MP Free's' were brilliant, but I found the official album, 'The Last Post', to be a huge disappointment. Haven't heard owt about any forthcoming shows.
This is nice and a welcome back too
