| | DON AIREY - K2 - CD BIO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | The savage mystery of K2 is evoked by the opening four chords of doom, TV newsreader Gordon Honeycombes sinister narration, the unusual 7/4 time signature, and the heavy pulse of Cozy Powells drumming. |
 | | Refers to the twelve day hike from Skardu, Northern Kashmir, across rivers, over passes, and along the Karakoram glacier, to the foot of what Mallory called the most awful sight he had ever seen, a mountain of inconceivable height, K2. |
 | | Cozy adds to the chaos with a marvellous drum break, Gordon Honeycombe reads the obsequies as the four chords of doom re-appear, and the guitar in the coda is unmistakeably that of Gary Moore. |
