I have to chime in on this one. "Home entertainment", in the time
period, from birth to now, would probably get Number One, if I was
asked for a chart. I listened to it nearly every day for a year.
got it down to once a week now .... seeking therapy next month.

Moving on swiftly, If you don't like the guitar in "Science fiction",
you should check out kenny Larkins mix, doesn't stray greatly from the 
original but adds a bit more in the form of warmth and ^tempo. I actually
like the guitars in the original, they really only come in at the end 
anyway - finishes off the track nicely.

Going to the other end of the Spectrum (the dancefloor) I'd highly 
recommend Paperclip people - "Throw", one of their (his) finest imho. 
You hear this from a lot of people - just shows how good it is.  

NP, Carl Craig: "Televised Green Smoke" (More songs about...) ain't 
exactly miles behind "Home Entertainment" ( along with "At Les") in 
the classic league.
