This is very nice, it reminds me of Liverpool and the mystery of bands in the early 1980's. Of strange clothing, and even stranger haircuts. Of spiky unique personalities and the whiff of something illegal in the air. Of the promise of something truly experimental and revolutionary. Of something that never quite... happened. Of a dream that faded and metamorphosized like one generation gives way to the next. My favourite bit is the motorbike in the bedroom

Pete de Freitas - still my favourite drummer, even after all these years.

Fantastic tribute.

Quite beautiful and gives a real sense of time past. I was around a little and it says more than words alone.
