I really didn't think much of _SR94_, so I bought _PoF_ (today) mostly for
the cover...  But you know, it's not half bad!  I think one thing that makes
it better is that Nik & Co have grown in confidence, and aren't just trying
to sound like Hawkwind any more, but are discovering their own sound.  Also
that Turner's voice doesn't give out half-way through!

Be interesting to compare it with _Love in Space_ - the track on the EBS
sampler ("Xenomorph") is just as I anticipated, ie it's really great except
when Ron opens his trap.  Oh well.
