Jon,

What exactly are you using for a hi-fi system?

Alan Powell was a suberb drummer - he played along side King on Assualt &
Battery, Opa Loka, Magnu, Dying Seas, Kings Of Speed, Reefer Madness,
Steppenwolf, Kerb Crawler, Aubergine....

Spiral Galaxy is all Alan Powell, as are City of Lagoons and Chronoglide
Skyway.

The guy's sense of timing was just awesome, man.

Captain Bl at ck.
