Playing today ... Ultimate Nullifier

Within the Angel Position sessions, the track "Nullifier" first emerged as "Ultimate Nullifier". It is presented here in its "Minus"-Version, which means that the recording is stripped down to the drum patterns, bass guitar parts and vocals. A rough mix, so to speak. The electronics of the latter version are omitted. The title is, of course, a reference to the Ultimate Nullifier of Marvel's Fantastic Four comics – and more specifically, the classic first appearance of Galactus, courtesy of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. To paraphrase – "giving a match to a child who lives in a tinderbox."
