Well, my reply to this would be there are a few other cues I certainly wouldn't call "50s swing" on the album, like Ichni-Si-San (or whatever it is) "Weird is Good" "Pool lights" "Pygmies" etc. But hey, whatever gets on your nerves gets on your nerves.

You didn't make it very clear to me that the first part of the paragraph was only talking about one section of the score. I thought you meant the whole CD...

But whatever Thanks for the reply.
