WELCOME TO
ONE THING I’VE NOTICED: THAT THE

THAT A SUCCESSFUL

Martin Fry has just

of course: see Jay-Z’s

followed

Opera…
but was it the sequel?
It may not reach the heights of
the original – and it was probably
never designed to – but if ABC
can pull off a sequel with almost
cinematic aplomb, who else could
follow their lead? We can but
dream, and my dreams would
include Kate Bush continuing the
story of the girl that got trapped
under the ice in
The Ninth Wave,
or Grace Jones and Trevor Horn
forging another 10 state-of-the-art
takes on
Slave To The Rhythm
(a surefire
Indiana Jones And The
Temple Of Doom
to the original’s
Raiders Of The Lost Ark).
Perhaps there’s another volume
in Thomas Dolby’s head of
The
Golden Age Of Wireless,
and
many more
Secrets Of The Beehive
in the mind of David Sylvian.
And if I could rewrite history, then
John Lennon would have started
the second phase of his solo
career not with
Double Fantasy,
but with
Two Virgins II
(or
Two
Virgins, Too).
Those are just my
suggestions, though. How about
yours? Email, tweet or Facebook
us with your sequel album ideas.
Let’s rewrite history!
