[kj] atkins & budgie - a drummer's view

[Rob Horan]

Yes, the tempo lets him down - how does a producer not pick that up, if so why not do it again? You're right about worst track although I still remember putting the vinyl on the first time and it stood out.........Nightshift is up there with their best....
 
Re. Nocturne that someone brought up, anything's better than the cabaret of Dreamtime

Glad about the ears.

Totally agree about Atkins, and, although I seem to be in a minority of one,
watching him with The Damage Manual (inc Geordie & Wobble) in London was
astounding. I loved that gig.

Want to know what you mean about Arabian Nights. The tempo is rather
irregular. Is that what you're referring to? Weakest track on the album
anyway.
