I liked the SFTC’s better, I must say. The Scott’s has lots of ginger ale, vodka, lemon juice. Almost pungent but not really violent. A little simple, developing a bit on mash, beer, and some very heavy grainy notes. Not too bad but lacking depth. Mono-dimensional
restaurant Palate
sweet and almost Sugarish, getting quite nicely bitter, on lemon seeds and grapefruit. Now it’s nicer! Gets more and more citrusy. Sugared lemon juice, grapefruit… Again it’s mono-dimensional but quite enjoyable. This one would stand a few ice cubes (come, come... ;-). The finish is long and, again, very lemony, with quite some tea during the retro-olfaction (tea with lemon of course). Simple but flawless. 81 points . August 29, 2005 CONCERT REVIEW - NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS Alexandra Palace, London, 25th August 2005 by Nick Morgan Having only recently bought myself a television I’ve been surprised that I’ve been watching it quite a lot over the past few weeks as we’re all gripped in the excitement of the Ashes Test Match Series (it’s cricket Serge, when England and Australia pit their greatest athletes against each other for the prize of, errr… a pile of ashes). I mention that for two reasons. Firstly, as Raymond Chandler demonstrated, a great sporting event can provide both a backdrop for both narrative development and act as a metaphor for the spirit of the age. Secondly, and more to the point, it’s because tonight we’re at Alexandra Palace , the birthplace of television broadcasting in Britain. Built in 1873 ‘Ally Pally’ has gone through numerous fires and financial difficulties, but it now trying to reposition itself as a premier rock venue – with a capacity of 8,000 in it’s Victorian Great Hall a bridge between venues such as Brixton Academy (c. 5000 and fantastic, but also big enough in my view) and Wembley Arena (c. huge and soulless). Well my advice is think again. It’s difficult to get to unless you drive (expect to wait nearly an hour to get out of the car park after the gig). The ‘facilities’ are woefully inadequate. The sound is indifferent. And the Great Hall may have some particular ambience as a result of its restored high-Victorian decoration, but it’s really just a barn, and with no apparent banking on the floor (as you would get at old theatre
