Maybe - but it is like I always say about buying speakers. If you hear
a pair that make you go "WOW", just walk on by - they ain't hi fi, and
I can't live with them in the long time.



No truer was was ever thus spake but this *was* a specific bit of *GADIGGER
DIGGER DIGGER* staccato electronic noise (Art Of Noise 'Close Up etc'??)
designed to grab the attention (a 'pant filler' as I like to term it! :-)


iPods are brilliant, but I suspect they are being matched in every
respect apart from fashion by all the MP3 players.



I do hope you are right - I have just given Son No 1 an instruction to get
me a Venturer (?? - his recommendation??) from Bedford this afternoon!!


Expect the diesels still go tick-a-tick-a-tick if you listen
carefully.



More AON on atm - the bit with the motor bike - it's not the bike I listen
for, it's the *tappets*!!


(What I got from the sesh was how amazingly similar the Jerichos and B&Ws
started out and how very different they sounded after a short
while....!!??)

Fun, innit?



Yes, bears out your earlier remark about 'wow factor' doesn't it? :-)



**quid Quad??

Wasn't he in Mopey Dick.....???

:-)

Call me Ishmail.



And I alone am left to tell the tale....

Gawd, I've just seen an embarrassing thing, checking the lyrics - the 'happy
as clams' which now sounds 'happy as clowns' with my newfound clarity (as
posted recently) bloody *is* 'happy as CLAMS'!! - I got gotta peel this back
a tad and just listen to the frickin' music!! Where's me MP3 player...??

Now Don, it's a lovely day - get out tha house and wash the car! Better yet,
get out tha house and wash MY car!! :-)
