I bought _Chronos_ hoping to hear something new and exciting.  Boy,
was I wrong.  This purchase was on a half-dare, so I guess I lose all
the way around.

I have but one major gripe with _Cronos_ on CD: my copy has ONLY ONE
TRACK; mind you it's the full length of the disc, but I hate not being
able to go to any one place inparticular within the music in order to
listen to specific passages.  It's annoying to have seven tracks
listed if I can't make use of the !!!! list.

      [	Are you sure the one big track isn't 'indexed'?  CD players,
	in addition to letting you access things by track, also let
	you access them by index.  Indexes are not used on most CD's,
	however, and most CD players will not let you program by
	index.  -- |>oug ]

Am I the only one with this problem?

back to business...
