Re: (TV) joshua fought the battle of jericho



I have to agree -- I really like Verlaine's solo here.

With an electric guitar, it's far a greater challenge to play something
loose and unstructured with restraint and filled with space than it is to
jam it full of notes and squeals.

The latter requires only a guitar; the former requires a guitarist.

Full disclosure: I *like* Warm and Cool.  A *lot*.
