Are You Experienced?

Christ, I've just remembered yet another reason why being called The Quatermass Experiment wasn't a great idea. No-one could remember our fucking name. The Quartermass Experiment? The Quatermass Experience? Jesus, is it that difficult?

Bizarrely, our singer's grandmother knew Nigel Kneale, the creater of The Quatermass Experiment TV series, which led to the somewhat odd situation of him writing us a letter that went along the lines of:

"Dear The Quatermass Experience,

Good luck for the future

Yours,

Nigel Kneale (author of the Quatermass Experiment
)"

And now he's dead, so there's no chance of us rectifying this misunderstanding. Unless I get hold of a medium and have the world's most confusing, pointless seance.

Actually if medium did guess why I was trying to contact Nigel Kneale I'd throw my hat in and become a certified spiritualist.

There should be more bands named after Nigel Kneale-related projects. That would create such awesome band names as:

Kinvig
The Stone Tape
The Year of the Sex Olympics

and, er,

Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
