I have to clarify here.  I was thinking of the Imaginos record that
was released under the BOC moniker.  Certainly BOC members
contributed to songs that were part of the cycle written throughout
the BOC years:  ME262, Astronomy, Subhuman etc. all appeared on BOC
albums and BOC members either co-wrote or performed on them...

I take it you haven't heard Buck live lately?  I've seen BOC live
regularly since Secret Treaties, and, he is playing, far and away,
the best guitar of his career right now.  And I think most on BOC-L
would concur on this...
