Much respect for that.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I will never claim I&#039;m perfect.  It&#039;s just that the liner notes for the American edition of &quot;Reach Out&quot; aren&#039;t much help.  I&#039;d never heard of Human Nature before I was assigned that review, and like I said in the review, no copyright dates are given that indicate some of the songs are four years old.  However, after you wrote, I looked up the original release of &quot;Reach Out&quot; on &lt;a href=&quot;http://allmusic.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;allmusic.com&lt;/a&gt;.  I&#039;d referenced it for my review, but I failed to look at the &quot;credits&quot; page.  Sure enough, there are the musicians&#039; names.  I&#039;ll see if they&#039;re also listed for the other two albums from which the American &quot;Reach Out&quot; gets its tracks.  I&#039;ll change my review to reflect that, but it still sounds like GarageBand to me.  My sarcasm shall remain untouched, mate!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All kidding aside, let me ask you -- are these guys big in Australia?  And what&#039;s the name of your band?  My exposure to Australian pop and rock is mostly limited to what I&#039;ve heard by liking Evan Dando and the Lemonheads since he loves Australia and groups like Smudge and the Eastern Dark and, by extension, the Hummingbirds.  Are any of those groups still active?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks again for writing.  I always welcome corrections.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;However, unlike most Australian reviewers, I&#39;m glad to see you acknowledge this part of your argument may not be based on fact.
