I'll try to take the "better" position and not argue, not
even off list(.....I guess things do change.......:).....)..
Great question Mr. Jeremy(long time), and I'd have to agree with you,
and I dont have the answer, well not a recent answer. However
I do know, like many, that there was some interesting debacle-like
stuff that happened in the beginning and that may be effecting
his output now, but ultimately I truly dont know.
I do know however that the bloddy Time:Space comp is still rocking my(and my
crew's) boat when ever we hit the town.
Perhaps we should get on em and ask!
(FYI, Somrux, I did think your post was funny and I agree, its
just my opinion.....I'll try not to hit that send button in the future...
so let-r-rip champ!)

Why hasn't hasn't Mr. May made a single tune in the last 5 + years. I
assume he still has his gear. If there is so much bad music out there
(which I tend to agree), you would think he would want to contribute
something good.
