That's cool, everyone has their own opinion. I WILL say that I still like
"Sunday 8PM" better as a CD but am really pleased with the Dusted CD as
well. And no, I'm not one of those "everything my favorite artists do is
brilliant" types because I think "Reverence" is a real spotty CD.

I never have gotten around to picking up that damn Art Of Noise CD. I LOVE
the track "At The Turn Of The Century" on there, is everything else as
good? That and the Underworld CD are the 2 from last year I never got
around to getting.
Speaking of Dido, don't you kind of wish Rollo had used her for the female
vox on this CD? I noticed Dido gets co-writing credits on 3-4 tracks on
here. Shame, although with her "cult artist" stature in the US I'm sure he
doesn't want it to look
like he's trying to take advantage of that.

Absolutely, like I said I still think "Sunday 8PM" is a better CD, but this
is a great one in my book too. "Always Remember To Respect Your Mother pt
1" sends shivers down my spine especially, so pretty.
