i  think he was spot on.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">if only someone had suggested that trevor take the  album and apply his widescreen 80s gloss over the whole album i would have been  a much happier man back then.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">in the meantime, console yourself with the remix,  it&#8217;s good.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><STRONG><\/STRONG><\/FONT>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><STRONG>tom vek<\/STRONG> &#8211;<EM> if you want  (playgroup dub)<\/EM> : <A href=\"http:\/\/www.ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/music\/tom_vek.mp3\">here<\/A><\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/FONT>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">stay tuned.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/FONT>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">mark e<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><STRONG><EM><A href=\"http:\/\/www.ireallylovemusic.co.uk\">ireallylovemusic<\/A><\/EM><\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
