I loved Andrews vocals but wasn’t sure it was appropriate for the track and some months later I tried putting him on top of a weird Dub thing I was working on – hey presto ‘Aquaplane’ as you can hear on the album.

Sometime later while recording some vocals for the album I played Nick Life the still instrumental Bighorn, he loved it and asked me to give him half an hour to come up with something. This is that incredible something…

BTW the chorus melody that Vicky sings was written by studio assistant Nick. Still not quite happy with the results I moved Nicks vocals over to what was to become Doomsday.

So the track remained unfinished for ages, I remember thinking Morrissey would be the perfect fit but alas the man is nigh impossible to persuade. Eventually Kevin Patrick at Columbia suggested new signing Jakk Frost. Jakk was a gent and wrote the track in front of me that became the version of ‘Never’ you hear on the album.

Take a listen to the finished versions of Never, Aquaplane and Doomsday.

And finally here’s the unreleased ‘New York’ mix of Aquaplane….
