Here's the PoopSheet (~/PoopSheet :^>).  This info can also be
obtained via "finger btc30679@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | more".

$8 plus $3 shipping is correct, within the USA.

Anyone who has been meaning to order but hasn't gotten around to it is
encouraged to order many many many copies ASAP.

Advance orders are still being taken for a CD compilation of
industrial music made by musicians with access to USENET.

Most of the bands represented have email and/or news access, and were
recruited from the rec.music.industrial, rec.music.synth,
rec.music.makers (and other) newsgroups and the nm-list mailing list.

The compilation will be available as a 2-CD set, with discs entitled
"Mind" and "Body".  The "Mind" CD will have traditional and ambient
industrial music, the "Body" CD will have industrial dance music.  The
pieces were selected by a panel of reviewers from the net (the panel
did not contain any of the artists).


"WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL MUSIC?", you ask?  It's hard to describe; perhaps
it would be better to give examples.  Artists whose names keep popping
up on rec.music.industrial include Skinny Puppy, Einstuerzende
Neubauten, Godflesh, Ministry, Front 242, Throbbing Gristle, Non,
Cabaret Voltaire, Nurse With Wound, Laibach, ClockDVA, Front Line
Assembly, Controlled Bleeding, Nitzer Ebb, Tackhead, Delerium, Severed
Heads, Crash Worship, and Stereotaxic Device, to name only a few.

The rec.music.industrial FAQ answers the question far better than I
can.


PRICING on the CD set (all prices in US dollars):

    CD set itself: $8.00

    Shipping:           first copy      additional copies
        USA:                $3.00             $1.50

HOW TO ORDER: Send the appropriate amount (from the above table) to
me, along with an address to which the CDs are to shipped.  The CD
sets will be shipped around early/mid August, so choose your address
appropriately.  Checks should be made payable to me "Ben Cox", and
should be drawn in US funds from a US bank.  If you are outside the
US, an International Money Order or cash (if you trust your mail) are
appropriate.

My address is:

PLEASE NOTE that these are ADVANCE orders: the discs have not been
pressed yet.  I will press the discs when I am certain that I won't
lose a fortune on them -- I don't have the money to press until I get
enough orders.  If I don't get enough orders to press the disc, you
will receive a 100% refund of your money -- and I will pay the postage
on the refund.


THANKS FOR YOUR ORDER!
