You know how the whole lot of us were always whining about being 
unable to locate a CD copy of Y. Takahashi's "Wild and Moody?"
Well, good news. It's slated for release on CD in August.

The Eno EP's on the plate right now. "Fractal Zoom" with two remixes,
neither credited to any major mixpersons. Fripp's guitar is much
more visible on one of the remixes. Also, another cut: "The Roil,
The Choke." Neither or these two appeared on what I've heard of the
original version of Eno's "My Squelchy Life" in any form. They both
sound pretty nice.

Note also that the soundtrack to the film "Cool World" contains an
Eno track that *did* show up on "My Squelchy Life", called "Under".

And yes, it would appear that the first night of the Sylvian/Fripp
shows in Japan from last March *have* been bootlegged. More on this
later....

Hello, I am very new to Usenet, but would like to get in contact with others
who share my musical tastes.  This is a list of my all time favorite performers:

Tangerine Dream
Kitaro
Yanni
Mannheim Steamroller
Jarre
Michael Stearns
Constance Demby
Enya
Ray Lynch
Vangelis
Brian Eno

For most of these groups I have all of their stuff, but the main thing I like to find in music is cutting edge electronic, but with either a mellow or tour-de-force sound.  If anyone has ever listened to ANY of these groups you know what kind of music I like.  It is so nice to finally get in touch with others which share my taste in music; none of my friends-relatives-coworkers etc. do!

Exit magazine reports that Wilson's departure "was the inevitable result of
Wilson's emotionally fragile nature, she had been reported to be despondent
and uninvolved since the death of her brother and fellow B-52, Ricky, some
years ago from AIDS, and her relations with bandmates were further strained
by the world tour in support of _Cosmic Thing_, hardly the 24-hour pajama
party-on-wheels many imagined it to be."

Exit also mentions Basinger's substitution for special performances.  They
also mention that the band has begun a recruiting drive to fill Wilson's
spot.  They've reportedly asked Syd Straw (who refused), Jenny Muldaur
(daughter of Maria <"Midnight At the Oasis">) and are reported to be
thinking of offering the spot to either Suzanne Vega or Michelle Shocked.

Actually, I agree with his other statement about it:  "Concept album" is
a meaningless statement because most albums are "concept albums" in a real
sense.  They are based on the concept of whatever happened to strike the
artist's fancy over the last year or two (or however long, for you Peter
Gabriel fans :-)  Many good albums have a certain unity of sound and/or theme;
certainly many, many Jethro Tull albums do.  Likewise, so do many albums
by The Who, Chris De Burgh, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, and many other
artists.  As far as I can tell, this is more the NORM in rock than the
exception.  The very idea of an "album" implies a certain unity of some
sort among all of the songs.

Look for two CDs put out by Rhino - titles, I think, are "Doo Wop Ballads"
and "Doo Wop Uptempo".  Mostly familiar and classic material, with a few
"obscure-but-good" things thrown in; but if you're not familiar with the
stuff, you may well not know the classics, so these would be a good start.
