Another Blog, and I’m afraid I’m going to sound a bit of an ass on this one, but bear with me… Being a “journalist”, I get a few perks like the odd free entry or hanging around backstage, but there’s one perk that keeps me going most than others, I love to be proved wrong! Now, this isn’t me being a pessimist or anything like that, but I like to think when I give a less than positive review, the people in question think I’ve got it wrong and go to prove it on the stage, which is definitely where it counts.
Red Shift opens up the Cd with some warbling synths before rapid drums and the instantly recognisable dual riffs of the band’s opener for their live set also begins the Cd.

The last sections of the song are taken up by a lengthy, drifting instrumental section lasting roughly a minute.
