He should be taken out on principle.  Like PTV releasing 23 LP's of live
performances is almost as obnoxious as Tangerine Dream releasing over 20
albums of their synth mersh.  Both bands don't have near enough artistic
strength or diversity to warrant that many releases.  Granted, PTV's releases
will be much more limited and less money than TD's.

I don't know, I thought the sound was reasonable.  Hey, if there weren't any
hum or static, it wouldn't be PTV.
