Hello

[John A Swartz]

Welcome aboard Dag - but, of course others have already said that...

I too was somewhat surprised to not see *Spectres* on your list - but
other than your comments on *Imaginos*, I agree with much of your
comments.  Others have commented on the remade "Astronomy" in a similar
vein - I personally like it (good bass part - which, as you'll find
out if you stay here long enough, is something that can make any song
in my opinion good - well, not really, but, being a bassplayer wannabe...),
but the original version is still the definitive one.  Being that Al
Bouchard did most of the music for *Imaginos* and being that he's also
a listmember, you're now gonna get some serious flaming from him - just
kidding.  But, seriously, many of us here hold *Imaginos* in fairly high
regard, and realize that Al deserves much of the credit for this album -
yeah, I sound like a bootlicker again, don't I?  In that vein, if you
haven't heard of the Brain Surgeons yet (Al's current band), stick around
awhile here and you will...
