Subject: [AVALON] UNCUT - Mackay thrills and Eno tea-ches brew making

Andy Mackay & The Metaphors given a 4 star review (out  of 5) by Neil 
Spencer in the new Uncut magazine. 
 
"Mackay's new group exist somewhere on the improv-post-rock axis, a meld of 
 his oboe/sax with piano, synth, guitar and the divine harp of Julia 
Thornton,  underpinned by Roxy drummer Paul Thompson, their debut offers a weird 
and  surprising ride through half a dozen standards linked to cities. "I Love 
Paris"  morphs from classical keyboards to surf guitar to sax squall. 
"three Coins In  The Fountain" is a honking stomp and "love Is The Drug" and 
"Waterloo Sunset"  are lovely ambient deconstructions. The Metaphors mission "to 
create disturbing  beauty" is thrillingly fulfilled in just 31 minutes."
 
Chrissie Hynde is asked by a reader "How do you make the perfect  cup of 
tea?"
CH replies "Make sure the water is boiling. Use a teapot. Put the tea bags  
in and leave it for one minute. I don't need fancy tea - PG Tips, Liptons, 
as  long as it's black and strong. It was in England that I developed a 
taste for  it. I went over to Brian Eno's with Nick Kent  in 1973 and Brian said 
"Would you like to make a pot of tea?" I had no idea how.  I remember 
feeling so ashamed. Ever since then, I've always been conscientious  not to make 
a weak cup of tea. I was out of my depth in those days. The first  time 
someone handled me a pair of scissors and cardboard to roll a joint, I  started 
to cut up the hash with the scissors..."
 
AND there's a feature on the making of Starman with interviews with Angie  
Bowie, Woody Woodmansey, Ken Scott and Mick Rock. What more could you  want?
 
Best wishes
Richard Mills
