I think "Everybody is a Star.." has some of the happiest bleepy, filtery
lines on it that I've yet to hear.  It is happy and funky without being
sappy or just insipid or disposable rave-crap, at least the 6 tracks on
that LP that I like.  I wasn't too interested in the green LP that came
after it.  I remember when the 12" with [?old Soft MAchine lead singer]
came out (94?), I thought they lost a lot of their originality.
