HW: IN YOU AREA!

[MissileCommand]

on Ambient Anarchists there's that version of Living on a Knife edge, with the
exact same reggae tune as that "jump up and down" part of brainstorm, and it's
actually okay (yet Dave Brock did the vocals on that).
Think of the creativity gap between that version of Brainstorm and the kind of
improvisation done by ICU 15 years earlier.
