Within the confines of a darkly lit Convocation Hall, a crowd eagerly awaits Asters & Co. whilst suffering through the uninspired sounds of opening band "39 Steps". Nevertheless, the audience were rewarded with the opening strains of Love followed by the monumental Gothic Rock masterpiece that is Nirvana. Surprisingly, the lads also included two tracks from the yet unreleased Peace album, we drowned in the chorus soaked Electric Ocean and grooved to the heavy-bass oriented sounds of Love Removal Machine. The dramatic backdrop of the Native Indian Icon [from the Sanctuary single] has permanently imprinted itself in my mind. I look forward to seeing the lads open up a full frontal assault of spritually driven rock in the Summer of 1999 - Hail to the return of THE CULT! Cheers, Joe
