Greetings,
Mike Keneally just released Wing Beat Fantastic - Songs Written by Mike Keneally & Andy Partridge, check it out here:

“For this month’s Bandcamp Friday we’re welcoming an old favorite to our steadily growing catalogue of music at Bandcamp. It’s 2012’s Wing Beat Fantastic - Songs by Mike Keneally and Andy Partridge, one of the most special collaborations I’ve ever been privileged to engage in.

Given the respect/regard/admiration I’ve had for Andy for decades now, it still feels like a dream that we were able to work together and bring these songs into existence. The album stands alone in my catalogue in a way, fully unlike anything else I’ve done.”

Very nice.
