Day 20: I get the feeling 'Days Of Open Hand' is quite an undervalued album... This features a beautifully suiting string arrangement by Philip Glass, with whom she goes back a long way.

Feb 19th: A single from 1996 (reaching the heights of number 83 for one week), it's the only thing I have by them... But it's an absolute gem as far as my ears are concerned.

I hope you don't mind me sharing this, Keith, but thought you might perhaps find it interesting - this was a Covid lockdown 'virtual' recording, with the Billy Currie part played by my daughter :-) (She's not in the band but knows one of them, and they asked her to guest.)

I bought it 'unheard' simply because of Claudia Brücken - I hadn't heard of Thomas Leer at the time. I must dig it out again! :-)

That must have been an amazing experience!

That's one of the great things about this challenge - you can go practically anywhere with it!

He is - cheers, Tom!
