I was listening (more carefully than I have up 'til now) to IYA the
other night and was interested by the several Rizz references to
"Hawkwind in your area" and "Hawkwlords" and the Fantasy stuff and I
fell to wondering how many of the studio tracks have been issued to us
as a foretaste of the Ledge of Darkness scenario and whether they did
this to inspire some feedback as an indicator of how things are shaping
up.

I'm happy with what's on the CD although I have to say that most of the
tracks on the live half are sounding more and more like variations on
the Brainstorm theme.    The melodic tracks are rather good IMO although
one of them is edging dangerously close to the perilous depths of
"muzak" (the stuff you get in hotel lifts) and I am a tad wary of
this.....

Slightly greater than zero and slightly less than one I would say

Very true!
