Heh. The only reason I deferred to the critical consensus in my post was that
in fact I haven't heard it. I'm sort of stunned that you haven't. I'm sure
it's just my accumulated perception, but Stewart, I thought you'd heard
EVERYthing. 8^)
But this information makes me happy, because on the basis of those first two
records, I really do ***want*** to like Kevin Rowland's projects.
