not for me, i would be overjoyed if plaid did 5 albums of acapella and animal noise experiments. as long as they stop Playing Around With Expensive Synthesizers. my coffee table's only so big.

i honestly wouldn't complain if they kept recreating Bytes to the same standard as the original forever and ever. if only they were capable of that! i'm sure it would keep me very happy, and i wouldn't be so compelled to try doing the same myself - an unenviable task... but no, poor plaid fell into the trap... still, i'll always hold out for them. retreat, retreat! <waves> Subconscious Geography http://www.sub-con-geo.demon.co.uk +/sale +/cdr
