At the risk of starting the Warm & Cool
debate all over again, I've gotta agree with
Keith. I admit that Lance Glover is a fine 
writer, but I'm not persuaded.  Warm & Cool 
should/could have been a lot better given
that Tom had been talking about making an 
all instrumental album for years and years.

IMHO this album contains too much dross and 
filler--too much leavings and tailings from 
the mine and not enough silver.
