A bid for stadium-rock status from Tim Rich (drums), Danny Goring (vocals, bass) and Christian
Gilham (keyboards). The Sixth Form at Heathfield School was a breeding ground for pretension at least amongst the group of students
who Tim and Danny hung around with. It was one way of relieving the tedium. They spent their free time writing pretentious graffiti
in the toilets or scrawling obscure lyrics on classroom blackboards. When Tim and Danny decided to advertise for a keyboard player in the local advertiser,
the Friday-Ad, they put in a quote from the French playwright, Moliere: 'L'homme je vous l'avoue est un mechant animal.
Window on the West require a keyboard player'. It came as no surprise therefore that no one answered the advert
apart from Tim in his spoof phone call to Danny. A local newspaper described their music as 'dense, swirling themes over tightly-guided percussion' in
a review of their Heathfield School performance at 'Rock Around the Clock', another charity event in aid of
Ethiopan famine victims. Their set included the epic, Blake-inspired 'Holy Thursday', 'The Great Divide' (about religious
intolerance) and a cover of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. Promised much but never got to Wembley...
