Let me deal with the individual "songs" first. I've never heard "A" or "B". As I said earlier, I'm the unfortunate owner of an incomplete, European single disc CD, despite having searched all over for the double disc. However, I'm a big fan of the type of music that Bruce presents in "C" and "D". Indeed, I wish he'd recorded a little bit more of this sort of stuff over the years. He's hinted at it several times - the intros to "Show Goes On", "Harbor Lights" and the general ambience of "Lost Soul" springs to mind. Perhaps there will come a time when he might record a purely instrumental album, which will expand on the quiet piano mood.

However, I'm less convinced that "Variations" should be where it is. However, again, perhaps there is a concept here - a "Bruce in practice" album? I don't know.
