It's different stuff. I don't care for Justin's voice back then, but I'm not sure how much of it is him singing badly and how much is just him singing like everyone else did in the 80s. I love Former Owner, Ignorant Heaven, and I Was Here. That is actually the only CD with words I can study to at school...Many thanks to the wondeful Laura for getting that to me...is that picture online anywhere? Mine has nothing except for the cover picture, I believe...I don't even think lyrics are printed in it, though I might be mistaken. And can someone tell me what the deal with capitilization is? Are they del Amitri, del amitri, or Del Amitri? The first album says del Amitri, I think I prefer del amitri, but I'm under the current impression that it's Del Amitri... And I'm gonna try to listen to Empty for that weird noise that was mentioned, I just haven't quite gotten to it yet.

It's a B side to something from the first album...no one's ever told me what, but it's really awesome. I have the mp3 if someone wants to hear it, just let me know and I'll post it online somewhere.
