Heh.

Very strange... Here's a link to the album info: http://www.roughtrade.com/site/content.lasso?page=roughtrade30thpage_1.html and here's Wikipedia's Derek Pringle entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Pringle The Purple Bottle - "Howling without symmetry" http://thepurplebottle.blogspot.com/ - --------------------------------- Yahoo!
