Ahh...Mr. MacKenzie - dog breeder extraordinare. A pity he had to go the way
he did. Magnificent voice - especially well demonstrated in the Associates
mk1 (with Alan Rankine). Billy also turns up howling in one of Holger
Hiller's early solo efforts (off of Oben Im Eck) and guess who is playing
assorted percussion instruments...? None other than Mr. Oswald. That would
have been in the early/mid 80s. I *thought* he had some involvement in
Palais Schaumberg (the band Holger started with Thomas Fehlmann) which
spuutered out in the mid-80s, but I can't prove it. Seems like Andreas Dorau
hailed from there as well. BTW the stuff which Oswald produced for Billy (I
thnk there was only one of his later eps) has a nice housey feel to it. And
if anyone isn't familiar with the Associates catalogue, PLEASE don't think
the cover of "Heart of Glass" is representative of it. It was some of the
best stuff rolling out of the period.
