      great news. some the comments sadden me, though:

      "cut the gospel crap"
      "electronic gospel? ...great growth guys!" (sarcasm)
      "doing T(alking)H(eads)... ...will be selling out big time!"

      first off, people need to get over their "gospel thing" -- isn't the gospel influence what helped sell "play" by moby? also, there's a lot of "wiggle room" in gospel music, not to mention i think mr. byrne was "yanking their chain" a bit (why do we americans take everything so literally?)

      about the "talking heads" comment -- jazz musicians play the same songs for decades, often bringing new ideas and approaches to said tunes and this "revisiting" is often a good thing, for some reason "rock & pop" fans seem to think that this is "cheating" or "being lazy" or worse "selling out." forgive the artists for playing music that the *majority* of the crowd might enjoy or feel some connection to or even (gasp) the artist *themself* my enjoy performing... eno was a part of at least 3 talking heads albums, so it's kinda "his" music too...

        Pay no mind to those comments. Its strange that someone would think that Eno/Byrne playing Talking Head songs (songs Byrne wrote and Eno produced) would be selling out.
        It would be those songs I would be most interested in seeing live (if I am lucky).
