Well, I kinda knew it was coming: "...back underground to stop it from
falling into the wrong hands", man that was *so* corny, (b & e is a
great track though) what do you think Liam was thinking when he decided
to start MFTJG with that sample ...? $ ? =A3, maybe ? ;) Well, shit
happens, IMO 'Experience' is still great and Jilted's ok and that's
that. I just consider myself lucky seeing them back in '92 live coz that
show kicked ARSE on the double. What's up with SL2 nowadays anyway ?
...um, maybe we should take this to alt.rave ;)=20
