Modern English have announced a new LP is forthcoming.

Coming off the back of their previous LP, Soundtrack, this will be the first album with the recently reformed original lineup.

They've also reminded us this is the 30th (!) anniversary of the classic After The Snow album...is a deluxe edition forthcoming?

Looking forward to the 30th Anniversary "After The Snow". Not sure what else they can throw on there but it should be interesting. How about a dvd with the videos and a handful of tv performances?!?

New album, original line-up, that may also be worth giving a whirl.

If the 30th Anniversary deluxe is released - may not as Beggars Banquet have moved towards their album box sets so I can see that as being an option - but if it does happen, I can envision the original expanded remaster on disc 1 with a live album on disc 2 - quite a few soundboard live recordings exist from this period.

Love the idea of a DVD as well.

Yes, also looking forward to the new album - Soundtrack, originally recorded in 2001, but not released until 2010, was a fantastic return to form. The band's new website is among the best band sites out there - especially since it's curated by the band themselves.

Would also love to see a definitive career spanning retrospective as well that includes the post-4AD years (Ink And Paper, etc)

The track "Moonbeam", although only a live version, sounds like it has possibilities of being quite good if they do a decent job in the studio. Interesting how the guys look now especially the one with cool hair in the 80's.
