According to his bio, Alistair started life out as a backing singer for The Who, Eric Clapton, and 'Curly' (Kevin Kennedy of Coro St fame). Actually Kevin's not a bad singer, he does country-ish type stuff, and was out here in NZ a few months ago (no.. I didn't go see him!). Anyway, the man of the moment Mr Gordon has some credentials, also having worked with Gary Tibbs (ex The Believers), and Richard Darbyshire (Living In A Box).
He even did a stint in the band Bank Statement, formed by Genesis ivory-tinkler Tony Banks. Musically, Alistair's project Radio Silence is high-tech AOR /pop which probably has a better demographic as a product a decade earlier rather than 1997. I'm sure if it was 1985, this album would have been a hit. Musically it's very similar to Mervyn Spence's work with his O'Ryan project, though probably not as classy...
