    Can anyone please tell me the name of that Travis video where they go searching for UFO's its kind of a tribute to ET. I know I've seen it but my mate recons it never exists.

    I'm almost certain its a Travis video but correct me if I'm wrong.

    yeah, I gotta agree somewhat.
    Re-offender was the big one, but it didnt do much.
    The album was written in the build up of the Iraq war, and I think it affected Fran too much with "Peace the f**k out" and "Beautiful Occupation".
    One or two songs showing the Travis of old, but not a patch on their first two.
    As if this was the "Be Here Now" from Travis. Lets hope they put out a "Heathen Chemistry" or "Dont Believe the Hype" soon.
    Speaking of which, are they due any new material soon?
    Anyone know if they'll play Ireland again?
    I had tickets for them in Marley park a couple of years ago, but the gig was cancelled when Neil (drummer) broke his back.
    The twit dived into a swimming pool with only a few feet of water... good job he survived!

    I don't know - "Walking Down The Hill" on that last album was an absolutely fantastic track!

    Suits the sombre final tracks of previous albums - like 'Slide Show' on The Man Who and 'The Humpty Dumpty Love Song' on The Invisible Band.

    Ah, 'tis an ickle harsh no? Admittedly it's been a while since I've listened to it but tracks such as 'Paperclips' and 'Happy To Hang Around' are as good as any of their tracks. Overall 'tis darker than their previous efforts and as a result maybe not to everyone's liking. It's as strong as 'The Man Who' for me
