I find that MUCH more believable than the obviously-too-good-to-be-true
"Silver Machine meets Mother Sky"!  (Come to think of it, while I've heard
many good/very good covers of "Mother Sky" - by Loop, Th' Faith Healers,
Skye Klad at SD2k, etc. ... NONE have matched the overwhelming BRILLIANCE
of the original.  I don't think anyone could pull that off.)  And even a
positive recommendation, in my book (remember, I already said I really like
Faust).  D'you think Nik could sue and get rich ;^) ?  (yeah, yeah, I know
you can't copyright "waterfowl noises" ...)
