I asked this question in The Fall tribe and got no response. Mark is doing the first non-Fall project I've ever heard of though, Von Sudenfed.
Anybody heard the album yet?
There was a review in the NYTimes last week (look for it soon before it gets archived!) that was generally positive. There are three tracks up on MySpace too.

Re: Does Mark E. Smith Exist Outside The Fall?
Wed, June 13, 2007 - 6:55 PMisn't there a mark smith in a band called unwound or something like that? can i assume that's not the same mark smith? i don't remember whether or not there was an e specified in his name. does anybody know who i'm talking about? i have a collection of singles of theirs, put out on teenbeat records, i believe. they did a cover of 21st century schizoid man, if that helps any...
i'm about 1800 miles away from my record collection right now, so i can't just go look it up... -

Thu, June 14, 2007 - 4:01 PMI'm diggin' the new von sudenfed album, though by smith's definition, any project involving him should be called The Fall (I think he once said something like "me and your granny and the bongoes would still be the fall"). -

Fri, June 15, 2007 - 9:17 AMHaha, I was going to say that!
I'm digging Von Sudenfed too, but Mark E. Smith could sneeze on a record and I'd probably be into it.
But holy crap, check out the video for Fledermaus Can't Get It --
