Review:

Always thought Ourbach was rubbish, school of boring macho oatmeal sludge. Yet gasp, there are a 
couple of frankie's mudfests in this which are quite good looking. On a larger scale the smears 
trowelled paint and mucky colours mke you think wow look at that, what is it, why hasnt the paint 
cracked, how can that mud look so good. Yes for a while he was really convincing. Shame he carried 
on doing more and more of the same in various formats. The big ones do give you an analogue for 
the power, oompf, and trudge of London rebuilding.
