Major bummer... I totally forgot Captain Crimson on the scandi list

Lists are fucked up. You always forget, or miss stuff even though how you make the lists. And there's always records showing up in the new year, that was not included. Then you can make a 'Stuff I missed list', but that's also quite lame.

Anyway, I really made a bummer not including Captain Crimson as I really heard this record quite a lot i 012. Please forgive me ;-)
