"I am a clone I am not alone, every fibre of my flesh and bone is identical
to the other, everything I say is in my test-tube brother's voice, there is
no choice between us....."

Really??? There's other Robert Calverts...? Weird! Please remove the
reference from the discography (somebody!), because this album is mentioned
there... I _did_ think it was strange that Calvert played instruments....

Does anybody know anything about this mysterious 'other' Bob Calvert???
(don't say he was the new guitarist in Gunther's band!). What's also strange
is that this album was recorded right around the time 'our' Calvert passed
away.... Clones? An alternate reality Calvert? I'll have to tape this and
check for backward masking... 'Bob is alive... Bob is alive...'..... etc.

puzzled,
Christian
