I like songs with unusual structures. SSS is basically just a collection of short solos interspersed by (Krupa) drum solos. Genius. A couple times a year I will search YouTube for cover versions and some aren’t bad. 🧵/ends

Is it better that in summer it got lovely and warm in time for morning break?

I look forward to you announcing a compilation of all your unreleased remixes and bits, which itself will
remain in an indeterminate “soon come” state for many years hence.

I actually do have an idea, and Mark might have an inclination about it, but I’ll write it up and send it along.
