        Well, I'm a bit of a Niker, myself, and must say that even though his
singing and sax capabilities are nothing to write home about, I think
he's a great performer and a great front-man. He comes across as having
a defined stage persona, which is something I don't think ol' Ron Tree
has perfected (yet...).
        I love ICU, and I quite like "Past or Future?" Though, I don't like
Prophits (profits) of Time, as he totaly destroyed some ICU numbers
there.
        Nik's no Calvert, mind you. But, neither is Calvert, anymore...
