Indeed. I agree.
The sax is a very versatile instrument of much sexiness.
I prefer it used in free jazz than pop stuff, but I've always loved Baker Street, fucking good song that.
Clever lyrically aswell.

I know, it reminds me a lot of the theme music for '28 weeks later'

Aint listened to Placebo for yonks!
Whilst the song itself was quite weak, I fucking loved the loop riffing on Pure Morning.
Although I made the mistake of bringing the TD home after a stay at the farm for a few weeks.
The stereo in it has decided that it'll chop the sound after a random amount of time.
You can turn it off and on again, and it'll work perfectley, until it shuts down for the rest of the day.
Hopefully there's a another head unit on the bay!
I fucking hate driving without music.

snap, the test cars dont have radios. So thats around 12 hours a day driving, no music. Strangely enough by the third week everyone in the car sits in near total silence!

I'm hoping my lack of tunage will be short lived!
Found a Sony XR-C5120R on the bay, £25 BIN with £7 postage.
Bit of a bitch about the 8 business days to deliver though... was rather hoping to have it by the weekend, since I've got to go to Redruth Sunday arvo...

I like that stuff Mickey, the other's not bad Vanny just a bit samey.
I had Classic fm on the other day; there was a track on of a 4 voice chior singing err ecclesiastical music, I suppose you'd call it, unaccompanied, with this guy playing Sax sort of making it up as he went along.Dunno what it was called but it was very effective
More of a jazz / blues man really

That'd be Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble - he's a Norwegian jazz player, they are "early music" people - the fairly well-known album they did together about 10 years ago is called "Officium" (I think).
Used to love a rather wacky album of his from the 70s called "Dis" with a jazz guitarist called Ralph Towner and a "wind harp" on several tracks. This is not as sordid as it sounds, it's something that creates a drone sound when put outdoors and the breeze vibrates the strings...
I do tend to like my music weird and wonderful though.
Used to play the saxophone myself, first Tenor then Alto, but it's a real bugger to find somewhere to practice.

I only have a cheapo Aria acoustic guitar nowadays and an 80s Roland digital synth, which my left hand runs out of keys on the bottom end of as it's not a full-size keyboard. I've come close to selling it recently. However, the reduced keyboard means it does fit in the boot of a BX, not that I've played with anyone else for yonks.
Hmm... now what would the band be called? Could be a long thread ....

When I was in school, our band started off as solilaqy (sp) but had it not all gone tits up I really liked the idea of naming ourselves "Generation Terrorists", which is a rip off of the Manics First album, but a fuckng cool name I thought.

Wow thats a coincidence Doc. I
![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
was involved with a band nearly 50 years ago. I can't play anything but had a couple of certificates for writing the stuff.
The band folded after a couple of months but they were called "Urbane Terror"
