Dr. Buck’s Letter
Way Round
Serum
I’m Going To Spain
Two Librans
And Therein
The Caterer

NOTES

Well recorded audience capture. A little background chat but nothing too worrying.

A short in store appearance.

Ok so no drummer but the use of DAT/drum machine on most things. It starts with a lengthy portion of “Enigrammatic Dream” with the “Bucks” riff played underneath and then the machines take over and Mark enters. Lots of squidgy synth sounds from Julia also.

“Way Round” is managed via drum machine I assume – Julia’s keyboards dominate in a fine fiery version – lots of good howling synth sounds. Ditto with “Serum” with what appears to be DAT recorded drums – some seriously out of tune guitar on this and all a little too fussy for its good.

Neville’s guitar remains out of tune for “Spain” – keyboards tend to lead the song – in parts – the whole things is a bit of a mess really.

More machine drums for “Librans” which is quite good apart from some tinny guitar in the riffy parts. Sort of collapses in parts. “And Therein” is just vox and guitar and is very odd indeed with some dire out of tune guitar.

Eminently missable – a bit of a car crash.
