I would agree with that, but on the other hand, I think it needs
it much more. OYF is a bit `live'-sounding, yes, but ETL suffers badly
from 80s production values IMO, brash metal and concrete sounds if you
know what I mean, and as I guess the original sets didn't sound so
overclocked, I'd hope a remaster of that album might reveal hidden
quality, whereas on OYF we can hear the quality already :-) Yours,
Jon
