I ...I've been listening and watching regularly. I can say Jason made a change last summer before they played festivals through Europe. He doesn't sound or even look lazy anymore. Specifically, he needs to be able to play a 16 beat hi hat without shuffling the beat. This was always the biggest issue for me, as songs like One Hundred Years should not shuffle. Boris was a master at it, which doesn't help Jason out either! Andy Anderson, was also a master at the 16 beat. Jason is certainly getting there, but I still hear the shuffle on Disintegration and until that stops entirely I still see room for improvement.

The best drums I ever heard on Play For Today were by Andy on a bootleg I used to have from 1984 from I believe Milan, Italy. Good to see some recognition of him again and hoping he can at least play on the next Reflections tour (and maybe bring his congas along for The Caterpillar). I'd also be interested in hearing his take on Boris/Jason material.<br /><br />And, Pearl to me is still Porl.ChristianZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926523379961771939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-68429234870131919022014-04-05T06:49:38.883-05:002014-04-05T06:49:38.883-05:00I always thought Andy's drumming was glossed o...I always thought Andy's drumming was glossed over too much, like a footnote..jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12151905844062548679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-13656908815072586422014-04-04T21:33:14.371-05:002014-04-04T21:33:14.371-05:00One could only hope Boris would make a return for ...One could only hope Boris would make a return for the Trilogy/reunion shows.<br /><br />Robert is too stubborn to allow for it, I bet.

Just not in the Cure.<br /><br />There's a reason the band generally stopped making the caliber of music it used to after Boris departed.

I admittedly haven't listened to live cuts for several years. When I listen back to the last couple of years the Cure live, I'm very impressed with how Jason sounds now. I love Boris, but I'm now definitely into Jason's drumming now.<br /><br />It's nice to see Andy Anderson back around.
