It sounds much like the "Cosmic Thing" album. I saw them in 89'. They were wonderful. The rhythm section was so cool with Sara on bass and Zac Alford on drums. He was on last years Bowie tour. I never heard of League but I really liked Gang of Four. Jim Yes that is Sara. Zac Alford is a very good drummer and very versatile as well. If he is was in Bowie's band, he must be. Bowie's latest tour musicians were some of the best ones he's had in years. I also think it was way cool that he had Gail Doresy as a bass player. Not only was she a good bass player, but very beautiful as well. As for Gang of Four. I can not say enough about them. I swa them every time they plyed here starting in 1981. I even got a chance to chat with them after two of their concerts. They were gracious ans were grateful that people came out to see them. As in the case of Ferry/Roxy, only one radio staion here in Chicago cared enough to even seek them out, play them, and promote to promote their efforts-WXRT. This is how I found out about both and I think I'm a better person for it.
