Either way, If it's not SQP, I've got NO respect for the guy that >did this stuff... -Våt. I have to agree wholeheartedly with this. If it isn't Tom, then this disc is the most derivitive thing ever produced. Try this if you've got a cd-changer: Put 4 of Tom's discs in and the Clifford Gilberto disc. Press the random button. Attempt to pick out the Gilberto tracks. Pretty tough isn't it. Utter crap. Ian
