There's a *little* of that, but for the most part, it's not as blatantly electronic as the Gentle People, etc. And I think ComEd have always drawn from a different area of the "lounge" pool - while GP and others are heavily influenced by EZ-listening pop sounds, ComEd are more of the exotika/tiki/Esquivel school. So yeah, there are a few similarities, but all in all, I wouldn't use the Gentle People as a point of reference. Greg
