about

Recorded live to DAT 5/23/99.

GS: This one got its name from some typos in a couple of ads I placed back in '88, through one of which Hyam and I hooked up. I was looking for a drummer and a keyboardist; in the drummer's ad, "Clive Bunker" became "Quiet Bunker", and in the keyboardist ad "Atomic Rooster" became "Atomic Research". Combine this with Hyam's and my collective interest in things nuclear and you get a song title. I had the riff laying around for a while and I believe it was Hyam who suggested doing it in 5. It was one of the first things we played together, before we even assembled Cold Sky- so, 2 bands before Jugalbandi (3 if you count the SOS sessions). This arrangement features double drums towards the end. It was our first time ever attempting this, and the reason we broke with our usual practice and edited the piece is that we went on way too long trying to get a feel for it. But we felt the first part was too good to lose, so out came the digital scissors and here you go.

HS: I must admit that my approach to my instrument makes it rather awkward for me to play along with other drummers, and I think you can hear a little of that here. However, "Atomic's" 5/8 and 6/8 shuffle feel provides a pretty sturdy framework for the two of us, and during the part of the piece included here we don't stray too far from home. Things did break-down a bit after that, but we've left-in the best bits for you.
