Lemme take a crack at this, even though I've had bad info before.

The impression I get is that "What Remains..." is a restrospective
collection of tracks from singles not previously available on LP
or CD.  The tracks cover alot of the history of MOAM, including the
individual, non-overlapping, membership periods for Deleto and Zeno.

Dexter's current touring role appears to be mostly rhythm guitar, but
also Bass when Coco is doing non-Bass things.  I also wonder if this
was the tasking of the previous fourth members.  I get the impression
that Coco is playing more Bass in the current configuration than
he did in some of the earlier configurations, thus earlier fourth
members may have been more Bass than rythm, but I could be wrong.

Coco, please set us all straight... again.
