Without doubt, he wasn't perfect - and I have had personal experience of both the good and the bad. When it comes to the particular story, the actual suppression is attributed to John Crabbe, another Aunt Sally of the new wave reviewers, which is curious, considering that John Atkinson cited one of his reviews as a model of the art. I remember being quite impressed with E70s at the time - I heard them at a show, I think - and I don't recall them being unduly criticised in the review. I must look it up...
