Hmmm... It wasn't that bad :-)

OK, it did take me a while to appreciate it, but l suspect this was
due to the fact that _XC_ didn't really sound like a typical HW
recording (Is there such a thing ?). The nice thing is that l can play
it in the car and not get too much earache from my girlfriend who is
NOT a HW fan.
