=====================================

John Warwicker, who would also go on to be a performing member of Underworld, a band renowned for its attempts to collide the high-impact of rock performance with dance electronics, observes: “Planet Earth has got that real velocity with Andy’s guitar. But without wishing to downplay
what andy delivered a lot of the the reason why Planet Earth worked, and why it still sounds good today, is, to be fair, down to Nick. If he’d pushed the synths and turned them right up, they’d be too obvious, and after a few listens you’d have gotten bored of them. But he didn’t. He was quite tasteful in what he applied – and it still sounds good today.”
oh yeah, and here's a poster too..
