     I'm there for this one.  _A4_ was a good step back towards the
actually fairly heady heights of the _PS_/_ET_ period.  _DH_ has
moments, and is interesting--but not enough.  They really need to
get it together, and they're spending too much time just faffing
about at the moment.
     The Blackheath gig last June promised great things.  Unfortunately,
while the great things from Blackheath were on _DH_, there weren't
any _other_ great things on _DH_ ...

     Ron is a lot better than I thought he would be, but he's not
Alan (or Lemmy ;)  He's settled in better than we might have hoped
otherwise.
     I think the real problem is too much filler on _DH_ and not
enough decent space-rock songs.
