"In an interview with the Guardian in 2002, he said: “I’d wanted to create a three-piece band with the biggest sound possible, a kind of three-man electric orchestra. We had an ambitious repertoire of rocked-up classics based on Bach, Bartok, Janacek, Mussorgsky and Ginastera intercut with blues, boogie, rock’n’roll, and we’d experiment, extemporise, anywhere in between."

I really liked their version of 'Pictures at an Exhibition'.
