not for me, i would be overjoyed if plaid did 5 albums of acapella and
animal noise experiments.  as long as they stop Playing Around With
Expensive Synthesizers.  my coffee table's only so big.

i honestly wouldn't complain if they kept recreating Bytes to the same
standard as the original forever and ever.  if only they were capable
of that!  i'm sure it would keep me very happy, and i wouldn't be so
compelled to try doing the same myself - an unenviable task...  but
no, poor plaid fell into the trap...

still, i'll always hold out for them.  retreat, retreat!
