Best Track: Pluto Drive. Perhaps ought to be higher up on list. The sweet seperation from the "machine" of Banshees-growling like Creatures. DELIGHTFUL!

I've been a fan of Scott Joplin since I can remember. It's music for the soul. I GUESS if I had to pick, it would be The Entertainer, mostly because it just floods me with lovely memories.
