It gathers pace around 19:26 and there's a building crescendo, the weaving guitar, the chorus of 'hey and away we go', staccato chords, just a slight pause then it finishes...it's like an aftershock - just so Mike... endings are just beginnings... FAB -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning.... You heard me before Yet you hear me again Then I die Till I call me again Back to top

There's a nice new article about Mike's influences, by the way:   http://thequietus.com/article....?page=1 Back to top
