Wow, now there's a voice I haven't heard in a long time. I was waiting
for some response to my Allstars critique. Dan, you can be rest assured
that I wasn't talking about Robert's album. What DO you take me for?!
When I wmentioned the "dull and flat mix" I was referring to the
mix/mastering of "West Coast...". All releases since have had WAY
better sound (yours were fine by the way).

Nice to hear from you Dan
