When I saw him & the Imposters at the Hard Rock in Vegas a couple of years ago, the "Dust" jam was one of the highlights for me.

I prefer Dust 2 to Dust, album-wise...

I've already written a lot about this album, this one is my favourite album by EC(like it more than classic EC) and one of my favorites ever. And of course it's so hard to rate it, each song is good enough to be #1.

1. Episode Of Blonde
2. Tart
3. 15 Petals
4. 45
5. When I Was Cruel No. 2
6. Spooky Girlfriend
7. Dust
8. Alibi
9. Radio Silence
10. My Little Blue Window
11. Soul For Hire(I often used to think about the phenomenon of this song(sounds too unusual) when it occured to me that it represents a mix of what they now call R&B and a "normal" song; and it's not an only example of such thing on the album)
12. Oh Well
13. Daddy Can I Turn This
14. Dissolve
15. Tear Off Your Own Head
16. Dust 2
Libraries filled up with failed ideas
There's nothing more for me there
I trust in tender ink and gentle airs

Had you said those identical words previously in print somewhere? Otherwise, you don't really need the quotation marks.
