That was my favorite on my first album listen

Think he uses the OP-1 on the album possibly as he used it in the live Smile shows 
Free in the Knowledge is probably my favourite right now. Donāt remember the last time a song has made me almost tear up just for being so beautiful.
Pana-vision is a close second (or maybe Skrting on the Surface, so hard to decide!) but like I said, the whole record is just stunning!
Yes itās beautiful. Really hyped with this release.
Love the production too

The Smile - Machine Drum cameo
Not sure I hear it on the record. But itās leaning against the wall in the background as if it was recently brought out for some play.

āYou Will Never Work in Television Againā is the most punkish song Thom and Jonny have ever made (?)
This one is such a great song as well

PS
I didnāt get the good shoot of Tom Skinner, it is only fair to give this man a respect, he is killing it! In my opinion this 3 guys are match made in haven.

Absolutely! I love that he noted the additional musicians in his instagram. Horns, and such.

Iām so jealous! Good stuff.
Fabulous album. Everyone is in top form and I love it when bands sound like theyre having a blast playing together. Production is excellent: nice and sparse, leaving space for everyone.
Anyone know what synth is on We Donāt Knowā¦? Warm and buzzing electricity.

In the live shows Thom is playing a Moog Matriarch. Jonny is playing bass guitar but has a foot controller hooked up to a Oberheim SEM-Pro heās layering with it.

Interesting that itās a Moog Matriarch rather than the trusty Prophet 5!
he used a prophet 08 live for many years

I stand corrected!
On Monday, it was prophet 5 reissue on the top of el.piano.
And moog matriarch , moog sounded so powerful on big speaker system, and so apocalypticā¦
I donāt remember seeing prophet 8, and i think there was non. But it was there on rehearsals posted on Instagram live videos. Maybe they bought pro 5 just recently. They used very basic sounds (compared to some other material they have done before) , but with loads of character, so I think pro 5 serves them better.
There was acoustic upright piano, and that Waldorf string machine used for strings and vocoding ( paired with moog ). There was some app on laptop, placed above rack of 19" equipment, Skinner had small modular rig. and possible Oberheim sem.
Probable some other staff too.
ah yes, Harp 
I wish you all were there, and if you ever get the chance, go for it.
