How about the bass? Felix was making people pass out from his volume and tone back then. He was one of the first to really exploit distorted bass tones in a hard rock setting. Check out the 5:00 mark.

He basically had to retire because of deafness.

I've been listening to Strictly Personal a bit lately since it's been in my friends car CD player lately. Does anyone know if there's a version of On Tomorrow with vocals that doesn't have this garbage mixing? I've only seen instrumental versions of it (the mixing might be the reason for that, who knows).

Cleverly he dialed from within from the outside we observed
That the nose of the wooden mask
Where the holes had just been uh moment ago
Was now smooth amazingly blended camouflaged in
With the very intricate rainbow trout replica

The old fart inside was now breathin’ freely
From his perfume bottle atomizer air bulb invention

His excited eyes from within the dark interior glazed;
watered in appreciation of his thoughtful preparation.

Well duh. What do you think of Ice Cream for Crow? It's on the level of TMR goes as far as creativity goes.
