I'm the one who recently bugged you to write about Brent Bourgeois and/or Louie Louie for "Lost in the (Very Early) '90s."

I was surprised by how different they sounded when they started out to what they wound up sounding like by the time Cupid and Psyche came out. "Songs to Remember" is a pretty fantastic album though. How can anyone not like "Jacques Derrida", with that strange rap at the end?<br><br>Thanks for the b-side! "Provision" is kind of weak, although I do have a soft spot for "Best Thing Ever." It's so...80's. It's hard for me not to like it. When I was a kid, I remember being in love with “Perfect Way” and a few years ago, I became obsessed with the Scritti back catalog.

Thanks for the b-side! “Provision” is kind of weak, although I do have a soft spot for “Best Thing Ever.” It's so…80's. It's hard for me not to like it.

You're right about it being better than most of Provision (I only liked "Boom! There She Was"). Thanks for sharing. Can't believe I never heard that one before.<br><br>The Al Jarreau track... well, obviously Scritti saved their best songs for themselves. Holy crap that Scritti b-side is fantastic!
