Revisted your chart & I cannot understand why I gave you only an 80. It's brilliant. Must have been having a bad day. anyway, my new rating is far more acurate. Great chart.

To see The Dark Third in a chart is fantastic. If you like Pure Reason Revolution I'm surprised not to see Porcupine Tree in your chart somewhere.
