As I said, I had absolutely no basis/research for my statements, which is
why I only mentioned this in the form of a question.

I was pretty certain Stormbringer was the first Panacea 12".

Well, I never claimed Panacea started anything, but thanks for the info
(though I still think Stormbringer is far better than Input,
unfortunately, and it's one of my least favorite Panacea tracks).

And if you could, I'd like to hear the stories... I'm always up for
