And assuming he got points on those U2 records, it undoubtedly 
elevated his bank account.

I'm very fond of _Discreet Music_ and _Another Green World_.  Sadly, 
my vinyl's getting a bit worn and I've heard that the CD releases are 
badly mastered.  Apparently _On Land_ is a big influence on Quine, 
but it's not a record I've heard.  (I've been meaning to chase it 
down.)
