david	Fair point Robbie, but Newsnight did an interesting piece last night on their return to the charts, with a great interview
robbiex	They are still under the radar, obviously they are upper middle-aged men, and the chart has no relevance anymore.
david	.... in the album charts that is, with their exquisite album Hippopotamus. 15 wonderful pop classics, showing what master crafstmen of song the Mael borthers are. They've passed under or beside the radar for decades, despite constantly pushing the boundaries of pop music and always receiving critical acclaim. There's something deeply satisfying about seeing a band you've followed for years achieving possibly their biggest album yet as they hit their 70s.
