Well, it's been awhile since I heard Alberts version (6 months), but as I
recall, I walked away with a new perspective on Imaginos.  My "feel" comment
relates to the revised vocals and additional overdubs (maybe "feel" isn't the
proper term...).  The "missing" BOC revisions imparted a different
perspective to Alberts Imaginos.

Rhythmically, the two versions seemed the same.

I liked Alberts vocals on his version.  Alberts comments on the budget and
marketing makes everything even more interesting.

In light of CBS's comments and actions, this makes me wonder if CBS had
(has?) ANY brains whatsoever.

My vote is that they don't...
