Eclectic?.. is that what you call it when a lead riff turns into the sound
of the piper filling the bag and getting comfortable?.. lol.. varied tastes
is one thing but to have the whole lot joined up into a file size that
challenges the IT/Professional download of SP2?.. now that's another..
It was an interesting exercise in file recovery.. needless to say, I
summarily dumped the recovered files.. two per CD just didn't sit right,
somehow, and the sudden changes in tempo scared the hell out of me..
