SDH says:
Good to see Atli is still writing. Unlike his other Remote Control peers, he is taking so very few projects. I wish he was still rolling with team Zimmer – he made some quality tunes for the man back in the days.
On a different note, That cover image has potential to be featured during a semi-final stand up comedy duel show. Oh, the jokes one could make out of it are endless!
