His spoken word soul is credited with laying the foundations for hip-hop, and now forty years later he's signed to XL and writing new material. We speak to hip-hop forefather Gil Scott-Heron to find out how it feels to be back making music and there are also contributions from his long-time associate, Chuck D from Public Enemy.

Plus we talk obsessive fans with Placebo, Manic Street Preachers, and New York Dolls, and there's album news from Foals.
