I have their one fairly recent album, Shoot out the lights, which I think is one of the best albums I have bought this year (of maybe 100). I heard that they broke up both professionally and personally, and since then Richard has went out on his own. I have the new Richard Thompson album, but I havent passed judgement on it yet (first play it didnt bowl me over). The breaking up is fascinating given the content of the lyrics on Shoot out the lights. Send me any gossip and speculation on this topic, as well as history and recommendations. Or post it here if you think appropriate; I will succinctly summarise what I get. Calvin Bruce Ostrum, Computer Science, University of Waterloo ...{decvax,allegra,utzoo}!watmath!watdaisy!cbostrum
