	Those are the only three with vocals, of course, save 
`Thunderbird's rather strange echoey noises. Perhaps Alan asked Ron to 
put words to the three best pieces...

	I have to give that another listen. Mike Coleman's review of it 
had me quite excited (yes, that was a long time ago) and when I finally 
got it it wasn't quite what I'd expected. The industrial noises and the 
songs could have used being integrated a bit more, but for a scratch 
band it's a prety good set. Mainly I wish that Ron hadn't gone on about 
how `mad' they all were so much, as his playing doesn't live up to the 
spirit of chaos he seemed to be trying to invoke... Yours,
							   Jon
