I'm also a big fan of DED. Maybe it's because I'm a child of the 80's. I also have CMIARS another try this week (on continuous play all day) and it's grown on me, too! But I'm still surprised by the amount of "anti-Larry" feeling people express when talking about DED. I think Thomas Dolby had far more influence over the sound of this album than Larry Klein - something I think is verified by Larry's contributions to other albums since, and even previously, eg. WTRF. I'm certainly no expert, but I also think he's a pretty damn good bass player. And does anyone really think Joni could be pushed in a direction she didn't want to go?!
