1. Cacophany No. A

My absolute favourite. They've played it live a few times, but not nearly enough for my ears 😉 such a beautiful song, with every member of the band key to the whole.

I love the slow throbbing sound on this, and the three part vocals layered on top. Not one they play very often sadly.

HMHB 15. All I want for Christmas...

Last day. So many others I've missed. Hope some of you enjoyed it as much as I have

There was one in the gang who had scalectrix and because of that he thought he was better than you..

Took over as my album favourite the more I played it, and is the perfect seque into Chill Blown for me. Another great live track too.

Someone get a message through to Captain Snort

'Cause there's gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight

Then time creeps up unseen
And it puts me back at the front of the bus

I asked Tim about where the title had come from, and was amazed at the story of the meteorite that exploded above the forest near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Russia.

Out of pure curiosity I dug up Logie Baird

If you haven't seen the Al Pacino film or know the story of Frank Serpico, Mick's lyrics might seem to be a bit ambiguous. Always one I love hearing live.
