nice post, Spaz, some good thoughts. Jim, I don't think Spaz had a pretenses as his suggestions being prog, but I may have read it wrong.
Jim, I'm glad you don't like COF, it would be inconsistent with your tastes. There are five superior cuts on Surveillance that stack up to Black Noise. Songs 2-4, Seventh Heaven (my fav FM tune), and Father Time. Check it out sometime!
Jim, love that "to a point" qualifier. Ah the power!
Keith, I shall look into this Drake character!
