Cream: Disraeli Gears (2006)

Jack Bruce: Self

Quotes 

• David Fricke : "We're Going Wrong" is one of the great Cream songs. Not a single, not a big hit, but it actually captures everything that was powerful about them, in a very... unconventional way.

  Jack Bruce : I had a fight with my wife, when I lived in Bracknell Gardens in Hampstead. And I came out of the flat and I walked down the road, and it just came into my... my head. Um... it's just like the kind of... what you say, what you think when you've had a fight with your wife.

  David Fricke : It goes in circles and it climbs, but it never seems to reach anywhere. And Eric doesn't do a whole lot. He plays this chord progression which is actually very... kind of chunky, and again, it's very funky in its way. But Jack's vocal is very powerful, very operatic. And, again, climbing. You know, it's as if he's trying to reach something and not quite getting there. The secret power of "We're Going Wrong" is Ginger's drumming. Because all of the action in the song is underneath Jack and Eric. It's in the tom rolls.
