I bought "Instrumentalyst" on wax and was dissapointed as you were, but
I hooked up a free copy of the Dreamworks release on CD and to my
pleasant suprise it was chopped and scratched up like no tommorrow. So
it might be worth looking into..... Also, i bought a domestic version
of "octagynecologist" and "Halfsharkalligatorhalfman" wasn't on there to
my dismay. Don't understand that either.
