Rick in DC --part1_194.a6693be.2a71f945_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all......alright I'm gonna contribute to this one:

1) Are Friends Electric
2) Rip
3) Question of Faith
4) Down in the Park
5) Like a Refugee

I too like both the old and the new :D

I concur with another digester who suggested we do a best b-sides list as well, in which case I would pick:

1) This House is Cold
2) Whisper of Truth
3) Random
4) Glitter & Ash
5) Metal Beat

The die-hards should know all these songs.....the other people are scratching their heads on Glitter & Ash I'm sure (B-side from I Assassin set)

Now then.....I'm coming to London in 4 weeks.......any survivors from the Reading Festival last year want to tell me the best way to get from London to Reading and back in one day?  How late does the festival run into the night?

Thanks all!

I've gone on record more than a few times saying Sacrifice Ext. is my absolute fav Numan cd and I agree that the extendeds (and some of the 12" mixes) do wonders for the songs......it seems to me that Sacrifice Ext. was the 'original' form of the work and had to be paired down. This seems especially notable on songs like Pray, Q of F and Bleed. Some of the other extendeds that especially work well for me are Angel Wars and the subtle little extended bits in Berserker and Call out the Dogs just give the songs neat new twists. As a whole, I'm not terribly impressed with Exile Extended and M&S Extended should have been called "M&S with leftover bits and bobs". As much as I would like to hear what a Pure extended would be like, I don't really think it's a necessary thing at this point :) Cheers!
