        It's a point I'm really of two minds on.  On one hand I appreciate
the blending of cool ambienty spacey things and crunching rock as seen
on _HotMG_.  Intellectually, I'm really into it.  However on the gut
level the unspeakable raw power in _Space Ritual_ bowls me over.
        And basically there's lots of ambienty spacey things in contemp
HW, but they could do with a dose of unspeakable raw power!

        Today it was nice and sunny so I opened my windows and played
Space Ritual and Doremi all afternoon :)

Cheers,
Carl
