We’ve posted the following message on David Arnold’s official forum when the news broke:
Hi David,
Could you let me know any more details of the work you have recently done with Shirley Manson?
And we got the following reply:
Hello Rob
So far, its only been writing and recording a song. It was something that weve been meaning to do together since we did TWINE, and its only now that our schedules lined up. There has been no decision made about what will happen with the work, but thats not the point of doing these things.
Regards
David
Second Update:
Q: Hi David, thanks for your quick responce, I do hope this material doesn’t end up collecting dust in your studio and is released sometime in the future. Please keep us all posted with any news regarding the material you have worked on or work on in the future with Ms Manson.
I am assuming that none of the remaining members of Garbage were in the studio with you and it was just yourself and Shirley.
Rob.

Shirley is beautiful and brilliant!! I sincerely hope that ANYTHING she does (i.e., Garbage or solo)is released!!!
And they all cheered…. Bid Day Out 2002, Cup Of Coffee, 7 words _before_ the end of the song….
