Well, I'm not very familiar w/ most of that 80's sensation's work, but I was
under the impression that SS had borrowed that chord progression in "Perfect
Motion" from somewhere. I just couldnt' remember where. I was simply
pointing out that the chord progression in that realaudio file is identical
to that in "Perfect Motion," regardless of where it was originally obtained
by SS.
Thanx 4 increasing my musical knowledge, however.
