Carl,
Right you are.  I saw BOC right after Imaginos' release, and they
played in a local club--the same club I saw them at BEFORE the
release of 'Club Ninja.'   The only thing they played from 'Imaginos'
was 'I Am the One...'  Had they already accepted their fate as a
nostalgia act, pandering to the 'greatest hits' mentality of old-time
fans who hadn't kept pace?
