[kj] ESS

[Alexander Smith]

Listened to it on the way home from work today -- and, by george,  
you're absolutely right. Better than I remembered as well.

That said, I also listened to HOSANNAS in its unwieldy entirety quite  
recently too. Sadly, my impression of it has not softened with age.  
While I like bits of "Implosion" and "Majestic," I still think it's my  
least favorite album. Better than COURTAULD TALKS , I suppose, but  
less intriguing than OTG (the myriad flaws of which still compel me to  
re-visit).
