And then some. I couldn't wait for Babylon -- then Warp dropped it because it didn't quite fit in with their master plan. Arses. In 5 years, we'll still be talking about "Music For

Anyone out there able to spin off an MD of this for me? All I've heard are scratchy real audio snippets.

Careful, you're getting near flame territory. Disagree with what I've got to say, by all means, but don't make out that I've been nonsensical. At the end of the day, it's all subjective.
