there's a new album and all that coming out soonish, and all this talk about it has made me think. we should go back a few years, and take a moment to remember the truley awsome piece of work that was known as 'Pilot'.

this cd was what started it off for many of the reuben fans out there, and has some of their best work theyve ever done.
without that EP, Reuben wouldnt be where they are now.

all hail 'Pilot'.

Seconded!

Never get bored of listening to Pilot, and no matter how many blindingly good tracks Reuben releases, I'll always love those four (or five).

Very True! I've never got bored of any of the Angel/Early Reuben stuff. And still to this day No Exit Wound and Ways of Staying Pure are to of my fav Reub' tunes!

I just listened to it again- great stuff. Although on reflection, Mark, the drummer at the time, didn't quite bash the pans with enough urgency. But it's the quality of the songwriting that really stands out after so long- everything is just really well thought out.

Pilot remains to be my favourite Reuben record ever. It's just so damn funky.

the production thing is basically down to running out of money to pay for more studio time to mix it... so essentially some of pilot isn't "final" mixes..

I think the kind of rawer production on the songs is what gives it a bit of extra charm.

Ya i think its a great idea to hail the greatness of pilot and also to hail ric who i believe probably made it available to many of us (well me at least) cheers ric and cheers reuben for ur brilliantness

Yeah I think the production is fine, probably even makes it sound better.
