Uh...I did. And mentioned that I really liked his work on Levitation. I'm
with ya, man.

Like Simon King on Space Ritual and Richard Chadwick on Electric Teepee,
Ginger was just right for Levitation. Though I know many others probably
would disagree about that. What other album besides Live Chronicles makes it
on so many "best of HW" and "worst of HW" lists?

Back to OFF, I was listening to Electric by The Cult the other day and it
occurred to me that what really makes that album great is the drumming.
Clean, basic, driving... Too bad the band treated him like crap and he was
given the boot after that one album.
