REM are only two weeks away from completing their new album, and will return to the US to add the final touches, according to reports coming from IRELAND.
According to a report on the Irish website www.showbizireland.com, REM vocalist Michael Stipe has indicated the follow-up to their 1998 record 'Up', which is currently being recorded in Dublin, is only "two weeks away" from completion.
It is said the band then intend to regroup in their home state of Georgia to put the final touches to the record, which is expected to be released in the spring of 2001.
A UK spokesperson for REM was unavailable to confirm the report.

melodic and atmospheric". He said: "The music sounds great. Everyone is
in excellent spirits, and the weather is fine as well. What more could
one ask?"
