I've always felt that ME was a deliberate nod to their MK1 roots... keeping the door open to get back to that at some point maybe, but clearly the whole MK2 electronic vibe really took off in a big was and Dubno was just the beginning.
To be honest I listen to some of Hyde's solo work recently and the lyrics on Barking - It is not far off the vibe that they had in MK1 ... I really feel it has come full circle recently, and the Dubno gig/release that we have now could actually be the cycle echoing itself... they are rediscovering the tracks, remembering the time they made it and the emotions.
Perhaps we will get new material soon that will embrace that same electronic vibe and we'll get some more house / techno tracks with Karl's vocals deeper in the mix than they have been recently.
