" I remembered that ex-Flock drummer Ali Score lives around these parts (see below), so I checked in with him again.
"We did do a short tour after 'Bands Reunited,'" Score says. "About 10 shows with all four of us. But that was pretty much the end of it. To be honest, we were still having trouble with our guitar player — life doesn’t change. Other than that, we were actually getting along pretty well. Me and my brother, even, we weren’t fighting. We still speak on a regular basis, so that was some good to come out of it.""
Found this Peel Session recorded on 6th of May 1981

Wow. I'm embarrased--I had no idea that the full title of "Messages" was "Messages from the Rings of Saturn" and I've always considered myself a big AFOS fan. Amazing the things you learn on the NWO.[:)]

Too bad the Reno is what's keeping a Flock reunion tour from happening full scale. He is far and away, hands down, no question the most talented player in the band. Mike Score's singing voice aside, is was Reno who defined the Flock of Seagulls sound. Really, the rest of them were almost a backing band for his guitar skills. Pity that they can't keep him around...

Maybe, but he's always been into booze (and in the past drugs) so it's not a surprise. Saw at Electric Dreams in London with someone I know who's a big fan of him, and he looked old before his time. He's completely broke and has very few possessions, a sad waste.
