No way?! The arrogant bastards! Much as I like their music I have heard from more than one source that ACR aren't the nicest people in the music industry but that takes the biscuit. Mark E Smith could maybe get away with that but level of self importance but not these. > > Whatever became of Topping, Terel & Tilson ? Simon Topping is now a piano tuner. Last seen on the really good DVD that LTM released of interviews with all the old factory lot..he came across as a decent fella. lord knows what happened to the other two. The sort of question Mark Bursa might be able to answer. Heard a live tape of this gig now and doesn't sound like they were on the best form and oh dear oh dear the new stuff is funk by numbers (i.e the sort you'd get if you pressed the "funk" button on a casio keyboard). ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V10 #48 *******************************
