     Heck Dave, so go back to the Monster Space Mystical Freak-outs.  He
turned out album after album of great stuff in that vein.  Maybe he got
intimidated by Calvert's lyric writing?  He seems to have been much more
restrained in the post-Calvert years.
     But where now are the likes of "7 by 7", "Down Through the Night",
"Lord of Light", "Space is Deep", "Time We Left", "Psychedelic Warlords",
"You Better Believe It", "Paradox", "Assault & Battery", "Golden Void",
etc.?

     Well, there's Alan Davey writing "LSD", "Sputnik Stan", "Xenomorph"
..

     Best Brock moments of the decade (IMO) go to "Mask of Morning", "Alien
(I Am)", and "Love in Space".  I can't imagine the lyrics to "Love in
Space" took long, and he already _had_ the lyrics to "Mask of Morning".

Cheers,
Carl
