        Ah, well, there I agree with you, _Miasma_ is really quite muddy
thoigh the new remaster CD may help with this. Two or tree great songs on
there but not an essential Frond release before the albums that were
mentioned, all that time ago :-)

        I came across it at the time but though it said what it was it
didn't really say whether it was any good or not... Also, though I place
great faith in Doug's opinions I also still have a copy of his trade tape
ere which suggests that his and my tastes do not *completely* coincide so
I was hoping, as I said, for opinions, plural :-) Yours,
                                                         Jon
