[kj] Hosannas.....sneak peak

[Alexander Smith]

I hate to say it, but I don't think the mp3 is a "rough mix" at all. I  
don't know this Simon guy who posted the mp3 on ILM, but he seemed to  
suggest that he was in possession of the whole album. I think it's the  
finished product we're hearing. This is an unconfirmed hunch, though.
