95% Correct! (The other missing 5% goes Cantara, which I think is better
here than the studio version... Lisa=B4s vocals are out of this world).
Toward the within is, IMO, one of the best albums DCD have ever made. Apart
for two tracks that I don=B4t care at all for (I=B4m stretched at your grave=
 &
Piece for solo flute) the album is a complete triumph. Don=B4t fade away is
the best track here, Perry simply delivers an excellent performance that
made shed some tears the first time I heard it.  I hope that this track is
the promise of what will come in the rumoured solo album by him. Elsewhere,
the tracks reflect a more =B4diverse=B4 sound, one that I like better...=
 Rakim,
I Can see now, American dreaming, Cantara, etc... these are gems in the
musical history of DCD.

It=B4s just my opinion...
