I don't remember that. Does anyone have a link to an example?

sorry i don't - i just remember it was a bit more orchestral and less 'electrica' sounding...

One of the best albums ever! You mean to tell me that this is from an album! Someone actually signed this bloke! Your kiddin me?

I've not heard the whole album obviously (and don't ever want to) but if the election music is anything to go by it's terrible! Sounds like some 1970s sci-fi music.

yeah that's the one! suppose it does sound just a little dated now - but the BBC could easily provide us with a remixed version more akin to this, and better than 97!

Wonder how different 92 was?
