What the hell are you talking about? Nearly all of Q-Bert's scratching was REMOVED from the 'Instrumentalyst' versions, along with Keith's vocals, and replaced with flute solos and so forth. The 'Instrumentalyst' album might as well be an Automator solo release.

I strongly suspect _Instrumentalyst_ was the basis for _Dr. Octagon_, rather than the other way around. In other words, seems to have started as an Automator project, rather than ending up that way. --Mark __ <http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome> < MPEG & RA audio clips > Forthcoming CD SENSELESS on Mindfield Records MINDCD03 Cathartium 14 m u s i c : w e b : s o u n d d e s i g n : h t m l : c g i : e t c "I'm a liberal guy too cool for the macho ache with a secret tooth for the cherry on the cake" -- Prefab Sprout, "Cruel"

Check the liner notes. Q-Bert is listed on the vocal album, and not on the instrumental version. Also, Keith raps on Automator releases, so the arguement of what came first is rather pointless. At 08:03 PM 2/20/98 -0800, you wrote:
