Source Http //www.Browningmcintosh.Com/plocktonwest/sproutfacts.Html Paddy Had Apparently Conceived Of An Album Named Let's Change The World With Music The Working Title Of The Band's Forthcoming Album Due February 2009 As Far Back As The Early 1990's "I Actually Wrote A Gulf War Album Called Let's Change The World With Music And I've Got A Couple Of Beauties But There Are Right And Wrong Times To Do Things And It Came After Another Album I Wrote Which Is Much Lighter... It's Called Billy Midnight Very Romantic. So The Gulf War Album Was A More Serious Response To That. I Keep Junking Things All The Time." - NME June 20 1992 Source Http //www.Browningmcintosh.Com/plocktonwest/sprout_Misc.Html "And I Have An Album Called Let's Change The World With Music Lots Of Songs About Music Playing On That Horrible Thing Where You Listen To A Song Like "We Are The World" And The Sentiment Is Great But It's Such A Cliché That It Sticks In Your Throat. It Plays On That Edge Between That Kind Of Thing And Real Sincerity." - NME April 15 1995 Source Http //www.Browningmcintosh.Com/plocktonwest/sprout_Misc.Html "Look Since 1990 I've Written What I Think Of As My Best Music. You Can Hear Some Of It On Andromeda Heights. But I Have Also - In Detailed Demo Form - An Album Called Let's Change The World With Music. It Was Written As The Follow Up To Jordan." - BEST Magazine France July 1997 Source Http //www.Browningmcintosh.Com/plocktonwest/sprout_Misc.Html
