I can mail order a few of these tapes too, as yeah, this is a sequel to our previous Live in Albion tape, which also captured shows in Scotland/England with special guests! If you ever wondered what Spiral G sounds like backed by a full MoonDrive71 spacejam band with Francis Field and Tristian Watson-O'Brien in Brighton, or with killer bassist Kevin McCarvel and bells/feedback rumbles by Andrew Paine in Glasgow, plus tasty textural guitar by Paul Milne in London, your prayers are answered!
