I tend to agree with Jon, but I also see where Dave's coming from - what I'd
say is that _Captured Rotation_ is the most *consistent* hawk-release for a
while - there's absolutely no crap on it, and lots of really good stuff - but
it doesn't have quite the high spots of either A4 or LiS (which are probably
"Alien I Am" and "Blue Skin" in both cases).

That said, it doesn't have the low spots either ("Beam me Up", "Losing your
mind"), and since I fall into the "Ronosceptic" camp, I vastly prefer his more
conventional style on Alan's album!

Although I'm beginning to be won round by his eccentric use of vocabulary -
still not sure what he means by "infractualate my brain" (nothing remotely
like it in the dictionary), but it sounds all right!
