[kj] 30 years of NIGHT TIME

[Nick Scott]

Is it a more refined sound now that the 'missing pieces' are back though
Jamie?

The only missing member from the equation was Big Paul.  They went through
the whole 'chugga-shout' sound throughout both Youth as well as Raven as
bassist.

The refined sound that was developed in the early to mid 80s was during
Ravens tenure during and after Fire Dances.  The metal sound was during
both Raven and Youth's tenure...so is it Big Paul that also has dabbled in
metal (albeit with other bands) that is attempting to refine the output
again?
