Dunno about that..
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

It would be an interesting comparison Ali. But the Yatra is very talented. Think of a blend of Decca, SPU and then some and you'll not be far out soundwise.Originally Posted by Ali Tait
