Yeah, I think I'm satisfied that what I did was make a home-made 
(re?)separation of "Brainstorm" from "Hawkwind in Your Area" 
specifically to dodge Captain Rizz's ... contributions :)

I have to confess never really warmed to QotSA beyond its/their 
inaugural appearance on that split CD with Kyuss (the "Gamma Ray" 
period), with an honourable mention to "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" ;) 
  While doubtless jaded by a subconscious irritation that "they're not 
Kyuss", I've always felt that Homme was drawing himself further and 
further into a kind of unnecessarily self-conscious post-grunge, torn 
between psych-o-boogie and Radioheadish uebercleverness (there's another 
band I never really warmed too, despite everyone trumpeting them as 
geniuses; moody depressing buggers sez I! :)

Er, so, no, I haven't got it ... But then I haven't got the other QotSA 
albums either!

Cheers,
Carl
