I'm glad to hear that the great Living Colour is working on the follow up to their reunion album, CollidOscope, which I thought was a really good album that didn't get its due. They are actually having a contest with fans -- they want a fan to create the album art. Find out more at their MySpace page. They also have a new live album recorded at CBGB in 2005 on their reunion tour, and also a live DVD recorded in Paris (also from the reunion era). It's weird how critics fell over themselves praising Living Colour back in the day, and now they sort of don't pay them the respect that they are due. I think they were one of the top bands of the '80s/'90s "alternative rock" era, although they weren't contrarian enough to think of themselves that way. They were as comfortable playing with Bad Brains as they were with The Rolling Stones, and that was one of the great things about them.
