Hmm, I must admit that's there's not *too* much that's great about Aural 
Sculpture, but it still has its moments for me (like every album 'til Hugh

As for the Damned... well, they're one of my all-time favourite bands, so 
I'll leave it at that :-)   It's either that or ten pages of wittering on!
