Cast - Alien [BBC Session]

High quality audio. Again, Skin dominates the song here showcasing his never ending knowledge of guitar effects and guitar techniques adding to the songs astral atmosphere. No wonder he was voted the 9th best Britpop guitarist. Should have been in the top 5 at least with the likes of Noel Gallagher, Crispian Mills from Kula Shaker and Steve Craddock from Ocean Colour Scene. Liam 'Skin' Tyson is now part of Robert Plant's Strange Sensation band. Good choice Robert.

Always loved Skin's work with Cast, perfect guitarist for that band, but then I saw him live with Robert "The Wild Man Of Blues" Plant and his guitar playing was beyond excellente', total professional!

Skin was, and is a much more accomplished guitarist than Gallagher, Mills or Craddock, or pretty much any 'Britpop' era player. He never got that recognition as part of Cast as they weren't critically acclaimed anywhere near what they deserved. Happily Robert Plant recognises talent when he hears it

Amen brother!
