        I liked the last track as well, in that I thought it was funny :)
Actually _XC_ was the first HW I ever heard, though the first I owned
was either _Palace Springs_ or _HotMG_.

        Doug Smith is my guess.    I think Huw left 'cuase he reckoned he'd
be a cool solo artist (oops!) or was just tired of the band.  Harvey left,
I've heard it rumored, due to Bridget being sacked ;)

        Gee, I was just in there today, but didn't look in the used section.
Last time I was there, I saw _Stasis_, but perhaps there's more now ...

Cheers,
