I was looking this weekend, found some Henry Cow, but not the one you
originally suggested, so I didn't get it. So it did arrive too late...but it
didn't.

Anything that has the word 'rain' in the title....     :-)

It really boggles my mind. Why is it that you old-timers wait so long to
get a CD player? Hmm? Who was it, just last year that took the plunge...
...one of the other old-timers...chuckrateeze maybe?

Vinyl is gone, cassettes suck, CDs are all that's left.

>Aw, it's not that good.

Damn, is that all you can tell me. I've only heard the one song, "Pull Me
Under." Sounds kinda Deep Purple-ish.

Well, the only thing I ever heard from them was a song called "Rise Above."
No lyrics, the singer just grunted and growled. Didn't do anything for me.
And hey, consider the Henry Cow added to the list.

Oh, I believe it. I saw it in a used section too...after I bought it new.

>favorite.  I can't believe I've never heard of him before.

There is a lot of stuff I have recently acquired that I can't believe I've
never heard of before. Like, for example...

>Praxis _Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis)_

...awesome stuff! I just picked *this* up in a used CD store for only $7.99.
More on them later, only listened to this once. I take it that Buckethead
is the guy with the white mask on? Weird looking dude. Does Praxis have any
other albums?
