That rifle bolt is probably the most prominent sound on "Army Dreamers" and
is _quite_ audible without headphones.

It was also the subject of one of the funnier (imo) r.m.g discussions of
the last few years--a discussion with provided the imagery of a soldier 
sitting in a studio holding his rifle as KaTe waved her baton.

While there are many times that headphones are nice, there is definitely
something to be said for using good, loud speakers.  It's much easier
to get a feel for the fabric of the composition, instead of the individual
components of warp and weft.
