Peter Alfke Well, like I said I would, I bought it. This CD, by the way, has some weird weird formatting information on it -- some of the tracks are labelled entirely as lead-in "grooves", which on my player at least display the next track number with a negative time counting up to zero. I.e.: track 11 ("Halloween") is the lead-in to track 12, prefaced by a zero-length track 11. The "real" track 12 is a weird little thing that I assume is either on the album or some single -- it was definitely recorded off a record, begins with Pink Floyd's "Get Your Filthy Hands Off of My Desert", and ends with the needle being scraped all across the grooves. Incidentally, if I select track 11 and then push Play, my player just sits there and doesn't play anything. Congrats to someone or other for figuring out how to really mind-fuck a CD player. Have the others with this CD noticed this? I'm sure it can't just be glitches on my disc. Oh yeah, the music. I don't immediately like it as much as EVOL, but I'll play it some more and let it grow on me. The first four or five tracks are pretty good, I'll admit. By the way: any place that charges more than $17.50 or so for the usual import CD's is ripping you off. At Poo Bah in Pasadena, that's the price ceiling on everything I've ever seen apart from a few Midnight Oil discs (Aussie imports, I presume) that went for $20.99. I've been to some other stores that regularly charge upwards of $20 for all imports. Hmph. --Peter Alfke alfke@csvax.caltech.edu "Support the power of Women. Use the power of Man.
