wow... just to weigh in with a different opinion (as usual)... i think Speedy J is brilliant, "Ginger" is a great album, and it blows away most of the other stuff in the AI series - *particularly* B12 which i think is so dull as to be practically unlistenable. Polygon Window has its moments, but Speedy J has *more* moments. And Spikkels is one of my favorite tracks. :) Jon Drukman jdrukman%dlsun87@oracle.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence.
