He was at one time the drummer for PIL.Then he went out on his own.I own a few of his solo albums.Not bad for the time.One of his later 80's album from around 88 has more of a New Wave Funk style top it.Sort of the way that The Gang Of Four later became near the end of their 80's run.Didn't Brian do a song on his first album from 82,called See You On The Other Side or a title close to that? What do any of you think of his music? Do any of you have any of his albums?

I'm only familiar with "Funky Zoo". A bit on the silly side, but it was fun to listen to. I thought I still had the 12" of the song, but it seems to have magically disappeared along with other choice pieces of vinyl.

Sadly, I only have it on a cruddy ca

For some reason I always seem to get the two Brian's mixed up when talking about Brian Brain or Brian Briggs.
