This time around the MICHAEL THOMPSON BAND consists of; vocalist Larry King of SOLEIL MOON, drummer Khan Parker and bass player Alan Berliant. <\/p>\n<p>The basic mood is gentle and caressing. The distortion is moderate and the refrain somewhat faded but still the craftsmanship shines through. The same goes for the slightly raunchier \u201cCan\u00b4t Be Right\u201d, \u201cBeautiful Mystery\u201d with its JOHN WAITE-story, and the yet again somewhat rockier \u201cEnd Game\u201d.
