        Yes, absolutely, though I have hazy memories that we've discussed
that before.  I think it comes down to what was said about the production.
The sound on Mirrors is more vibrant, you can hear the _band_ on it.
RBN is much more sterile sounding.

        Mirrors is "Dr. Music" which RBN is "Dr. Muzak" (Muzak is
his name .... ;)

Cheers,
Carl
