hmm... i actually thought boot the system
was a pretty decent track. i sold my "let
us play" CDs, but hung on to the boot the
system/atomic moog 2000 single cause it had
a bunch of good mixes. the japanese version
of more beats and pieces also has a couple
good mixes of boot the system. 

i think that musically, boot the system is 
so much better than any of the other preachy
tracks from let us play, so maybe that's why
i'm able to deal with it.

alan!
