One source of clues would be the Live Tape. There are several bits &
pieces of classic Dog tracks on there. If there's one thing I know about
Ken, it's that he would not have used the music if didn't write it.
Over the next week I hope to go through track-by-track & identify these
and cross-reference them. I'll post the results.

I didn't say Ken was the only creative member, I said he's the only one
who is currently using his creativity. I love Ed's old tracks as much as
anybody, it just seems to me that he has trouble getting the creative
juices flowing outside of Black Dog Towers, unless he's working on a remix
of someone else's material.
