Moonglum would pretty much need Langton I'd have thought?
Ditto BitB would need Bainbridge though I think such an abortion of a
song whould be left to quietly moulder rather than have it's rotting
carcass dragged into the studio for a tardy and necrophiliac kiss of
life.
Treadmill on the other hand, with more guitar and less nonsense might
make an excellent track.
ObTour: I disliked them finishing with "Abducted" in Brixton, feeling
that a rock track would have left people on an up note. However, at
Brentwood where everything was very formal with seated rows and a
zillion bouncers who'd have been better employed fetching beers for
thirsty fans, this track seemed so out'n'out weird that it really worked
as an ending to the gig.
