[kj] Opening Track

[Rob Moss]

Yep. 

It was their peak I believe. 
Gods own medicine didn't really hit the mark and children is kind of weak. Carved in sand hit it for me but then in went plop!

However Aura was a rebirth but that last album was awful!

>> Youth remixed a track and Jaz produced strings for another, both of them on the Mission's first truly crap album, Masque. I mentioned this to Jaz in 2003 and he said it was the first he'd heard of it.

Someone knows if they do have any connection with Youth or Killing Joke (as far as I remenber Youth did a mix on one of their singles, but don´t know which one)

If they have any sense at all, they'll be comfortable on their bus or in the backstage area while the local yokels bore us all to tears. I swear to god, I've spent more time in my life waiting for bands to stop playing than anything else.
