 	It really is, and in places very good indeed (while in other 
places, it's basically AMT with a different frontperson, and that depends 
very much on how much you like AMT). If `Supercotton', the tale of how 
Cotton Casino has her voice stolen by an evil witch DJ and then transforms 
into a super alter-ego to battle the witch for it, as narrated by Daevid 
in rhymed prose full of puns over a taut funk bassline drenched in synth 
swoops and Gilli's space whisper, doesn't work for you, perhaps some of 
the straight-ahead three-guitar freak-out will! But `Supercotton' is 
*great* so it really should :-) Yours,
