It had
been a quiet few months on the gig front, so best way to make up for
the drought was to pack in fourteen bands in little
more than a week. This was done easily via the following... Black Celebration VIII

XPQ-21,
Psyche,
Knifeladder,
V2A, Deathboy
and more. My first opportunity to sample Bill (FLA, Delerium, etc)
Leeb's Conjure
One project live was a no-brainer, plus the welcome return of
Paul (OMD) Humphries and Claudia (Propaganda) Brücken's Onetwo
