Colin Towns Mask Orchestra - Drama

Not heard that yet. 

I really liked some of Towns early records. With his later ones I'm not so keen on the somewhat sledgehammer approach with the orchestra, used to punch out huge riffs (I'm always reminded of his past in Ian Gillan's band there!). Listenable and enjoyable but something jarring.

Have you heard his smaller band Blue Touch Paper? My initial reaction there was 'Oh, not for me' but I've warmed to them. Very loud, slick, shiny production. 

I think Towns has more of a presence in Germany - only seems to appear here infrequently. The story of British jazz!
