I don't know -- if it's inaccurate to just change a few things and then call a track "new" then a _lot_ of dancehall artists are in trouble. There are whole CDs of (for instance) Sly & Robbie tracks where the backing is exactly the same, and all they've done is add new toasting over the top, and those are all considered different songs. If an artist wants to claim that a track is new after tweaking the snares a little bit, I have no problem with that. It's their work, after all. yrz, ozy ozymandias G desiderata ogd@organic.com Ravers Suck Our Sound (415)284-6888 http://www.organic.com/Staff/ogd/ ::AOAIOXXYSZ::
