Well, happy that the damn thing finally came out, not so happy about Toyah's
vocals, IMHO.  I don't know whether to hope they tour or not.

I'm a very hard core Fripp fan, but I have to agree 100%.  The vocals almost
ruin it.  My reaction was, "Kate Bush / Danielle Dax / Grace Jones imitations
over some really great music."  Kate in particular should be asking for
royalties. %)

What we really need is a dub version of the SAOTW album. %)

I accidentally deleted your question about the League of Crafty Guitarists'
upcoming release.  It's titled _Show of Hands_, and is due out in June.
