[Heeplist] Illusion

[Shawn Mctopy]

Random Thought ...

After listening to this *Rare Album*, on *YouTube*, I wish the
*Group*would re-release the
*'ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN'* Album.

Sort of like the re-release of the *'Sea Of Light'*, *'Sonic Origami',* and
*'Spellbinder' *albums, via Cherry Red Records.


*Oh Well ...*
