I loved his album 'Gathering of the beasts'. My favourite song is the haunty poetical song 'Sing to the moon' which is about a bushmans feeling of detraction and loss of identity as climbs into the bottle in the midst of the madness of London. Especially good about this eco-awareness album is the fact that the CD is printed on re-cycled paper! It remains one of my most treasured CD possessions!!!
