That's weird - a cassette tape you made me ages ago (my
recollection may be foggy, as I haven't even had my tapedeck
set up for about 5 years now), had a track from Kinetic
Playground and I thought I remember loving that track and
wishing I had the whole gig.  I don't recall it as being
absent the blanga factor, though you're obviously in a much
better position to comment on this subject than I am...  :)
