        I'd started to quite like it by the time I'd played it five times,
but it's still, well, not great. There is a lot of energy, and `Coup
Sticks' would probably be very good in a good studio, but it didn't get
one. I get the feeling that it's all been squeezed into a muffled
container slightltyy too small for it. I'd like to hear it on a really
good stereo and see if it comes out there. I know they warned us it wasn't
all it might be but given the money I paid for it [1] I'm still kind of
disappointed. Mind you, it's more interesting than most of
_Spacebrock_. Gloomy beggar inneye, yours,

[1] Just to ward off flames, I have done the sums, and though I don't know
what CDS's cut was even if it was minuscule the income Jerry and Richard
are getting from this probably doesn't cover a month of my rent each. I do
appreciate that they're not raking it in, but that just raises the
question in my mind, why didn't they make more?
