NEWS FLASH

A group of audio perfectionists who, in their words are ``tired
of the reactionary anti-digital attitudes promulgated by
magazines such as TAS (The Absolute Sound)'' have formed an
organization to ``espouse the digital revolution, the ultimate
approach to the pure enjoyment of music''.

The group, called TIS (That's Incredible Sound), is promoting
the removal of all analog artifacts from the production of CD's.
Their first move is to have a special designation for CD's that
have been produced purely digitally, with no intervening analog
steps.  Taking a cue from experiments (previously reported in
net.audio) where electrodes were implanted in listener's brains
so that the digital music could be experienced ``in its pure
form'', they are now experimenting with a technique that uses
similar electrodes on singers and other musicians, to ``remove
all encumberances of analog music production, such as the
musician's ability, and other limitations due to the so-called
physical laws''.

Their ultimate goal is to remove all outside interference from
the musical process, and use the same electrodes to both create
and listen to music, allowing the ``golden head'' audiophile to
``step to the beat of their own drummer''.  Record companies are
reportedly alarmed, but audio equipment manufacturers are more
optimistic.  One such company, Dolby Labs, has admitted that
they are planning on a new process, dubbed ``Dolby IQ'', that
will improve musical enjoyment for the new generation of
``plugged in and turned on'' audiophiles by eliminating
extraneous noises and thoughts.
