        I'm with ya on this one too Chris, DH is my favorite HW
        album of the 90's. I do wonder about one thing though,
        after listening to a tape Richard Chadwick called "the new
        album" during the US tour there have been several songs
        added/deleted. Two very exciting psychedelic tunes were
        dropped and replaced with average ones. I was very pleased
        about this new direction since its what I listen to the most
        at this point in my life. They would have fit, bringing the time
        from around 50 minutes up to 65 or so. I guess one could
        argue that thematically they don't match, but hey DH is
        kinda a mixed bag anyway. I hope these songs see the
        light of day soon.

        Anyone figured out the words to Phatamine Street?
