When U2 played their most recent concert in Stockholm, they covered 
ABBA's Dancing Queen - and Bjorn and Benny allegedly appeared on-stage
with U2 for this number. That's the only thing I've heard from 'the B's'
since Chess.

Yeah, the discussion isn't what I'd call real interesting in an enthusiastic
way, but I found the suggestions for revisiting the copyright laws to be
pretty amusing, and the most interesting part to me was that they explicitly
state that the radio show is public domain and that if you can make a buck off
if to go for it. This is very interesting news to me, as I have at least 50
hours of the radio show, including the show which that text was taken from. 
I'm considering working up a package of "authorized" boots of the radio show.  
The show one expands even further on the copying/copyright stuff than the 
cd, and in a more humorous way with tape cutups and live callers, etc. My 
opinion is that the band is doing this to encourage folks to copy and 
distribute their tapes, partly because they'd get sued if they tried to 
release some of the broadcasts themselves. Anyway, I see some interesting
opportunities in the possibilities of marketing Over The Edge radio tapes. 
It could even evovle into a pyramid distribution scheme - buy a copy and 
sell dubs to your friends!

   For the hardcore Negativland fan, it's a diety.  For someone who
  passively likes _Escape_From_Noise_ perhaps not.

   You are quite correct about the disc.  It's Crosley Bendix (who sounds like
  a close cousin of the Weatherman, hmmmmm...) discussing the Copyright
  Act in his own little way.  For those not in the know, he did the liner
  notes on the front and back covers of _Escape_From_Noise_ (as well as
  in the EFN Booklet).

  It goes on for about 15 minutes with his discussion, which isn't that all
    exciting, until he plays a sample of a piece consisting of edits of
  cheesy dialogue in movies/TV/etc. which is quite amusing.  It starts

  The MAGAZINE on the other hand is worth the $13.99 I paid for it (Tower
  had it for $8 ? Wow.).  All the info on the U2 Negativland case in a nut
  shell.  Guess all you guys can delete your SST/Negativland press releases

About a week ago, I asked what the hell ever happened to the Comsat Angels.
Well, I can give an answer myself now. For those of you interested:

The Comsat Angels new CD called "My Mind's Eye" is out now. In Holland, it's
released on the Crisis label (catalog #?). The opening track "Driving" is
indeed their new single.

The line-up for the disc is the original line-up:
	Steven Fellows (vocals/guitar)
	Andy Peake (keyboards)
	Mik Glaisher (drums)
	Kevin Bacon (bass)
Kevin left after the recording. I have no information about who is replacing
him.

I haven't heard "My Mind's Eye" yet, but yesterday, I read the Dutch music mag
"Oor" and MME received a *VERY GOOD* review. Well CSA-fans, rush to your
CD-store and check it out for yourself.



Back To Work,

        Frankly, I'd keep DISC 1 and not even bother getting DISC 2
unless you are an absolute Orb fan.  The Blue Room mixes on 2 are
small edits that pale in comparison to the epic version on 1 (I wasn't
fond of Blue Room until I got the 40minute mix).  Also, a lot of people
rave about the Towers of Dub mix on 2, but I remain unimpressed.

Inspired by a recent countdown of the top 1000 songs of all time, I've
decided to conduct one of my own, kind of... I'd like to hear what you
feel are the five best songs of all time.

I will be compiling them using a 10-9-8-7-6 system and I'll give a 
point to every song you add over five. So think hard when you vote.
You can put your five favorite, or the five best engineered or whatever;
it's whatever you feel fits the criteria as the best five songs of all time.

Replies will be sent back giving which voter you were so you can get a
feel how large the countdown will be. The countdown will be as long
as how many votes are given. So if there are only four votes, then
the countdown will be the top four of all time, big whoopie.

I am hoping to get get at least 50 votes by October 15, so I've posted
this request to three non-group oriented music groups.

I encourage as many people to vote as possible. I will continue accepting
requests until I post the results October 15.

Summary: "Our Time in Eden" will not disappoint Maniacs fans

Distribution: usa
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 92 13:52:25 GMT

It's only been about 3 years since the last album of new material
from 10,000 Maniacs ("Blind Man's Zoo"), but it seems like 10. So I
rushed out to get their new release "Our Time in Eden" and was not
dissapointed.

I can never quite put my finger on why the 10,000 Maniacs remain my favorite
group. Natalie Merchant has a beautiful voice, but you can seldom make out
exactly what she is saying without referring to the lyrics sheet. Her
instrumental backing is nothing if not enthusiastic, as if trying in vain
to drown out her voice. But somehow, packaged as 10,000 Maniacs, it's GREAT!

The new album is vintage Maniacs, though perhaps slightly more mature.
After listening to it about a half dozen times, there is still no song
that I really want to listen to more than the others -- unlike their
earlier albums. But it is consistently good.

In a nutshell, it is my reserved opinion that their new album is maybe not
quite as good as "Blind Man's Zoo" or even "In My Tribe", which I would
first recommend to the uninitiated. However, for those who cannot get
enough of the Maniacs (like me) you will not be disappointed.

This past Tuesday I saw a group called Moxy Fru"vous (that's my
attempt at an umlaut).  They're a Toronto based band that does a
lot of acapella stuff as well as songs with instruments.  I was
really impressed by a lot of their stuff - unfortunately, they only
have a 6-song cassette out right now, and I think they're peddling it
themselves at shows and such.  They might be looked on as a kind of
novelty act, since some of their songs are humourous.

On the other hand, another Canadian acapella band is the Nylons.  They're
a lot better known, and have a bunch of albums out.  Ask at your record
store.

in Melody Maker or was it NME? last week!), so Im sure someone besides
ME has beard it.

Personally I think its so much like the original its hard to tell them
apart.  I do like it alot, havent listened to both together, but Im
wondering how much this is just a commercial sellout by MO to please
his new record company.  There are some good touches, but I think that
while the idea is to recreate the success of the first TB, there is
very little 'originality' and thats kinda too bad.

Have you undergone double-blind tests with both formats?

I haven't even _seen_ a DCC or a MiniDisc.  But I read the results of a test
some group did comparing CD to DCC, and they said there were distinguishable
differences, but not necessarily in quality; they could hear a difference
but could not identify the source.  Their conclusion was that DCC sounded
slightly different to CD, but not clearly inferior.

The compression used for MiniDisc is a lot more lossy than the DCC
compression, so it almost certainly is "worse" in some sense.
