So, am I the first BOC-L'er to have a copy each of Choose Your Masques and
Sonic Attack?  I got it at 9:15pm CDT Saturday from Mr.Coleman.  He's
selling them for either $12 or $13 American (+ shipping, of course).

Well, lessee... Until I bought these, I hadn't heard anything at all from
either of these albums, unless you include live versions on Out & Intake.
I'm still trying to decide which version of each I like better.  One thing
for sure, though:  Mike Moorcock should *NEVER* be allowed to sing again,
at least not like he 'sang' "Coded Languages".

One li'l mess up on the CYM, though:  "Arrival In Utopia" and "Utopia"
are, as most of you know, two distinct tracks.  However, they are indexed
together as track 3, with a total length of 8:47.

Also, I think something's wrong with the "full version" of Silver Machine
included as a bonus track.  The song fades in just like the "shorter",
4:23 version, but fades out just before it hits 3:00.  At 3:00, Silver
Machine *fades back in* exactly like the beginning of both versions.  Then
I realized, after investigating further, that this second "half" of the
full version of Silver Machine is none other than the shorter album
version.  The "full version" clocks in at 7:43, in case you're wondering.
