What, three whole studio albums out of the entire HW output?  I don't doubt
that they're your personal favourites, but I do doubt that the majority
agree with you.  If there's one thing that this list has taught me, it's
that HW fans can't agree on *anything*.

Of the 70's studio albums, I'd put ISOS and QSC above the albums with Lemmy
on.  The Space Ritual is particularly special, I agree, but that doesn't
mean that I want to hear more stuff from the same tour.  I've already got
The Space Ritual, it's excellent, and I don't need copies of the same thing.

I agree with you there.  I almost wish they'd drop the idea -- not because
I don't want to see it happen, but because it seems to be burning up lots
of time and energy without achieving very much.  But maybe things are
happening that we don't know about, and it will all work out in the end...

Dave.
