Oh and while thinking of it am planning to send out email to miscreant and other Auckland Tsunami cd bands tonight, I have a plan you might be interested in. Will send later though as about to get back to work.

Hey Dave,
I was thinking bout the kings arms as a first choice, had the boxs bollix in mind as second choice but been pointed out it is a little small and the sound isn't that great. Will talk to K.A. first I guess then possibly the classic or something if no luck there. Will send you an email when I get home (work computer is too slow on hotmail)
Will send out cd today too.
Thanks dude!

I might give it a crack aswell. My perception of it is a little bleary concidering I was a little drunk when you played 'Enemy within' for me and my brother outside the Lincoln green last month. I remember the cool tapping run though! 
I'll go check it on amplifier and slap together somthing eh? 
Rob

Heres my take on 'Enemy within'
On first listening to this song it just blows your socks off as soon as you start listening to it. The bass groove is bloody catchy as, Dave's tribal like drumming comes in which leads into Simon's legato tapping motif. I think thats the real hook in the song. It really drags the listener in. Gets you wondering "what are these going to do next" sort of thing.
When Mel's voice comes in I kinda was expecting a Ronnie Dio type thing to happen but instead we get a sultry tenor thing going on. I found that very cool. As much as I like that whole 80's 7 octave vocal range, better to leave that stuff in the 80's. Plus Mel's Sexier then Ronnie anywayz!
This is just my opinion but I feel that there is just the right amount of playing in the song. The absense of a guitar solo (well, more or less) is an unexpected inovation as the song appears not to need one. Dave's orchestral influences really shows. Theres some pretty technical rythyms and fills going on in there.
Was that greg on the bass? It's a bummer he's left the band. I'm sure he could play bass licks the same as any guitarist in NZ.
Last but certainly not least I'd like to comment on the blurb on amplifier:
"Essentially Ishtar doing a Van Halen meets Tadpole number"
Personally I think it's more like Dokken meets Tadpole. That tapping run sounds more like George Lynch than EVH. Thats not a bad thing though, I personally prefer Dokken over Van Halen.
Well thats all I can think of, I'm off for a coffee and a cig!
