Re: Your last listen

Nice one, they were very underrated. I seem to remember John Peel was a fan. I've got Curved Air - Live on at the moment. Ah, Curved Air - saw them live back in the day. Sonja Kristina was certainly a striking performer :). My favourites are the 2nd album and 'Air Cut', the one where Eddie Jobson j...

Re: Sound system volume vs distortion

Sound system volume vs distortion

I had pleasure to see Orbital at Brixton Acadamy last night and as is fitting for such a gig the volume was on eleven but combined with excellent clarity.
