Good point thanks for spotting it. Removed now. I guess I must like that 
track to include it two years in a row ;-)

I have changed the title for the section to Electro/Progressive Rock as 
that and the other Prog Rock tracks seem to fit the mood/flow there 
better than in the Rock section. Also I kind of like the comparison that 
it makes between Progressive Rock and Electro. There is a lot of cross 
over which is a nice juxtaposition for me while listening. Breaks things 
up a little and gives the listener something to think about :-)


Cheers.
