After essentially breaking up, it wan't until Robbie got a call from New York based TVT Records in 1990 that Modern English came back to life. Robbie recruited former bandmate Michael Conroy and friend Aaron Davidson to become the new model Modern English. Well, Robbie has some nice things to say about TVT as well. Another gap of six years goes by and a deal is struck with the imago label. Robbie then recruited three friend's to join him in the new version of Modern English, with three others for the touring band.
Truth is, there wont be a single, other than a radio promo.
I was in the midst of getting introduced to the various band members when I met Ian. Colourbox are a fave 4AD group to me and even though there will never be another record from them, I dream of how it would sound. It turns out he probably wouldn't have signed it anyways as he's not entirely comfortable with the musician-fan relationship. The attention was all on Ian now as I down-loaded every Colourbox question from my memory onto him. Ian was quick to downplay the comments I made about the 1985 self-titled Colourbox album.
