From the old guard (Freddie Mercury) to the newer upstarts (Tahita Bulmer), to the energetic (Howlin Pelle Almqvist) to the intense (Ian Curtis), they’re all here.

The multi-instrumentalist is not only proven as an individual performer but, perhaps more poignantly, when it comes to working with others he’s virtually unbeatable.
