Hmm, I didn't realize that Edwards had been in B-Shops. I had the B-Shops/Brotzmann disc once. It is the only Brotzmann I've ever traded in. Hated it. Can't remember it enough to describe it. However, if you like Remote Viewers, you may like B-Shops, because I've heard all three of the RV albums, and feel the same way about them as the B-Shops.
