Ok, Soft Machine I get (1970) but why on earth would you chose The Stranglers (sans Hugh Cornwell)? |

Edgar Varese's 'Ionisation' was ok and now Cerys Mathews is doing some bizarre old folk song. The Stranglers did 'No more heros' but there seemed little point in that. |

Now Cerys is ruining Blueberry Hill. I kind of like Cerys but she can't sing for toffee

Yes, it did seem like an odd line-up that had been arbitrarily put together. I was listening in bed and fell asleep halfway through. A pity: I was actually waiting for Fred Frith on the "Jazz On 3" that came after... |

'Golden Brown' was strange. The Stranglers just did what they normally do and the London Sinfonietta made a discordant racket during it. Varese, Berio, etc was fine but the pop stuff was dull. |
