        What does it compare to most closely? Are we dealing with Club
Ninja style (even if better), or is it heading back towards real-sounding
BOC?
        Also, a question: if it was recorded in '94, does that mean
they've got a new version for the album, or have they been faffing around
trying to mix this since then? Neither would surprise me, but if the
former, that suggest they have other demoes in the bank. In which case,
the delay over EW is just _silly_...

        By which rationale, of course, they should never ever perform
`Cities on Flame' any more... I'll go and see 'em even if Eric can't sing.
That is beginning to look permanent though, isn't it, which cannot be good
news for the band. Oh what negative things I can extrapolate from there
being new BOC, I think I need to get home for a bit, yours,
