All empires contain the seeds of their own destruction. When
populations are denigrated and humiliated by their imperial masters it
can only be a matter of time before the empire falls.
This song tells of an insignificant incident in the decline of the
British Empire...
No 12-string guitar on this track, I'm afraid! Principal instruments
here are a Cesar Pasquato classical guitar, made in Spain in the
1930s, and an old Fender bass.
("Singapore" is from the "Edge Of The Dark" sessions, an unreleased
collection of over fifty experimental pieces recorded between 1978 and
1981.)

I should suggest the indie band 'Downtown Singapore' if I were I.
They do a fab cover of "Time After Time." It's a fabuloso.
