I agree...from the beginning of Trans MC to the ending of Astronomy lies some
excellent drumming in between...most notably:  Cities, Sheep, Foot, Scopes,
R&B, Hot Rails, Archer, Diz, D&S, Cagey, Telepaths and Astronomy...

yeah, I miss the "ba-ba-bum-bum" in Cities nowadays, too...I think that was
taken out in favor of a rest...as my guitar buddy once told me "it's one of
dem lil things you'd miss if it wasn't in the song"...he's right!

one thing I don't miss that BOC thankfully took out was the "ahhhh" in
Burnin' For You...if it's in there, it makes the song sound kinda sappy,
IMO...how about the addition of the synth on Harvester on OYFOOYK?  adds a
"weird" aura to the song...
