Since the other members of the Sound betrayed him, he has played with a handful of other musicians, none of who were able to fill that SBS-shaped hole; they were therefore summarily dismissed. Instead, he has taken solace in laying down computer-generated tunes in the solitary but comfortable confines of his home studio (read: the spare room). His first solo album, Raki Rides the Meat-Pie Rodeon, is frequently released to great acclaim on Wishful Thinking Records, usually when Neil's lying in the bath sipping wine.
