I might want to be careful then.

The proper Maxis version is better by a long way.  It's even more addictive than the Windows version.  You even get multi-balls.

It's easier to get a higher score on it though... but it's not easier to play.

I've never got over 10 million on the Windows version.

Yes, indeed

James and myself are listening to Stormy Six!

Awesome!

I have two Stormy Six albums but haven't listened to them yet.  I need to do that.

I'm currently listening to Porcupine Tree.

Tell a lie...

Il Labirintio is my favourite track.

Very good.  I shall have to get used to the vocals though... especially as I don't have a clue what they're singing about (that's not really the issue though).

A few moments jarred me I'm sure I'll get used to them over time.

They reminded me of someone else too... I cannot think who though.

Il Labirinitio is indeed my favourite Stormy Six track.   The lovely sax solo (or is it a clarinet?)... oooh!  It's also the most avant track on the album.

And it's weird... I don't understand Italian but I get a sense of what Il Labirintio is about... weird.

Deadwing is crap. Well... not crap... just not very good.  I loved it when I first heard it and now... meh, it annoys me so much! Do you have that rare official limited copy EP?  It's from their earlier career.

Deadwing actually grew on me. I didn't like it as much as Lightbulb Sun and a few others at first but now it's the closest to my favorite.

Which EP? Do you know the name?

In Absentia is absolutely amazing. I'd say their last 3 releases are probably their best, though I do extremely heavily enjoy Signify, Stupid Dream, and Lightbulb Sun as well. I'm listening to Stupid Dream right now; "Don't Hate Me" is killer.

I've not heard In Absentia but I've heard a few excerpts and it sounds better than Deadwing.

But In Absentia annoys me 'cause a mate of mine is a PT fanboy and talks about that album so much... even worse though is he cannot pronounce In Absentia properly and it infuriates me!
