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.
