    Brilliant! Also, this made me think all over again how cool it is that HAL’s “dying” monologue finally made its way into “Amused to Death” in the 2015 remaster. (Glad you finally got your phone, BTW – I read your customer service entry and yeeeeesh. That sort of thing totally twists your melon!)

      Thanks man, that was some seriously Vogon-like bureaucracy I was contending with for a while there. It’s hard to describe the sweet relief I felt upon walking into the O2 store in town and having the store manager do a double take when he saw me appear. “Ah! Er, Dave, isn’t it? I’ve got your phone…” Cue relief, a sudden craving for a cool beer, etc…

      Yeah, I had no idea before my first listen that the 2015 mix of “Amused To Death” had had HALs dialogue inserted into “Perfect Sense, Part 1” as had always been intended. Now I have yet another reason to love that extraordinarily superb record. 🙂
