[kj] Roundhouse

Mon Nov 9 10:31:49 EST 2015

I’ve heard the use “Booids” by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, “Force & Fire” from Jaz’s thing with Ann Dudley (Songs from the Victorious City), “ Tales of the Future” by Vangelis (from the “Blade Runner” soundtrack) and … yes … “Masked Ball” from “Ass Wide Shit.”

Alex in NYC

Her album "Flood" came out in 1999, the same year as the movie. KJ often mix it with the "Blade Runner" track by Vangelis.

My initial reaction to the new album was much the same. However, ive been listening to it a lot while driving about for work and its really grown on me. Some of the tracks which I initially rejected have now become firm favourites. Into the Unknown for one. Live, this was the highlight of my night. Disappointed they didn't play Delete, which is definitely the best on the album in my opinion. Exorcism was fantastic, also Fall of  Because and Madness, but I don't think anyone would be too disappointed if they dropped Asteroid from the set entirely.

Big Paul sounded immense, vocals were clear, Geordie could have been a little higher in the mix but you could still hear what he was doing, Youth was just a rumble though. Not the best sound but Ive heard them sounding a lot worse.
