I was also there at Heaven about three weeks ago. It was the original lineup
with Glenn Gregory singing and the other two behind large keyboard and computer
rigs.

Imagine them with a four on the floor 808 drum beat instead of the Linn and
you are close. There were a few interesting piano riffs as well. Facist Groove
Thang and some of the other songs early in the set sounded a bit loose but
it sounded great by the end. Just remember that this was only their second
gig ever (the first was the night before in Portsmouth).
Now what I would be really interested to hear about is anyone's opinions on the
support band that night.
