Some remarkable stuff going on this time - Annie providing powerful vocals, Keith making his guitar 'moan' by bringing the motors in an electric razor close to his pickups, Simon playing his phone (as promised last time I bumped into him), Henry playing vocals, bassline and backwards percussion on his samplepad, James T reading my favourite of his poems ("The truth is a woman who looks like a man who looks like a woman in front of a mirror facing another mirror in a room within a room at the end of a circular corridor in space..."), me reading some scary weirdness from the Book of Ezekiel (I think) and James S turning up as the result of a very-last-minute phone message, adding his wonderfully random elements to the sound.
