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.
