HW: still losing it?

     After the recent discussion of 90s HW, I threw _A4_ in the stereo to
give it a critical spin.  I think I've said this before, but I think while
it's highs are as high as those of _ET_ *overall* it's at least as good if
not better.  On _ET_ I tend to skip from rock track to rock track, but
mostly I don't mind the in between bits on _A4_.

     Well ... "Beam Me Up" still sounds silly, and musically like about
half-a-dozen song fragments mushed together.  But the rest isn't that bad.
 "Sputnik Stan" is *damn* good.  Losing Bass Assassin #2: bad!

     "LSD" and "Mask of Morning" still blow me away every time :)

Cheers,
Carl

ps - "LSD" is, of course, another Davey track ...

pps - well, there's still the new Monster Magnet coming out soon, and I
thought the Spiritual Beggar's "Lack of Prozac" had a HWish vibe.  Plus,
presumably, new darXtar sometime???
