- Yes I'm seing Satch in London come February. I would like to disagee about his
- **worst** album. I think his worst album is his latest, and I quite like his
- vocal attempts.
-
- If you like novel crafted stuff, try Dave Sharman.
-
- He has two albums;
-
- The first is called "1990" and is pureley instrumental. His second album
- contains **some** vocals, and even though I've got the album, I can't remember
- what it is called (BUM!). The second album is better in my opinion.
