I like the rhythm and bass line - it reminds me of an underlying riff in - Come What May, and it trails off in a similar way. They may have got it from Mike. The Amarok sound of pouring water must originate from here . -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

It would have been the icing on the (already delicious) cake. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Don't ask my why one song is chosen/one excluded from an album. "Saved by a Bell" sucked. Was it Simon the drummer who sang that(along with Discovery)? If so, they prob. chose Bell to promote his singing ability. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Kinda trivial in 2010. Funny story, I had a freind in the mid-80's who was very into the heavy metal genre opening up.  This was a guy who would raise his fist held HIGH, and say "OZZY!" Like a salute. I said "hey" in 1984. You might like this song Discovery. Dude sounds kinda like Ozzy. I played it for him, he said "It sounds so Clean, like elevator music". Well F him. I love that track and never saw him since '85. Bye Tubes....
