That fluctuation was present to the "The Dark Side of the Moon" I got on LP
early 74.  Since it was present on the CD I bought a couple of years ago I
presume it was put the by intention.  I have even heard it on LP that was
pressed in Japan.

Someone else asked for this, and my outgoing mail is fucked up, so I will
post the catalog numbers:

Disc 1:  0 7777 99596 2 4 
         UK: CZ 499

Disc 2:  0 7777 99597 2 3

Disc 3:  0 7777 99598 2 2 
         UK: CZ 501


I hope those make sense to you, because they don't to me.  If that is the
future of CD catalogueing in the EEC, then the future sure looks bleak.

The numbers at the top are the numbers under the UPC bar code, and also on
the "spine" of the CD.

Well it took 2-3 weeks longer to see the new album here in Canada, but
it was worth the wait. The new Joe Satriani album is excellent, his best
to date, with a much heavier sound. He's a close second to Ronnie 
Montrose for 'my favorite instrumental rock guitarist". Recommended.

In 1982, Warner Brothers (US) issued an album by a "mystery group"
named Blanket of Secrecy: "Ears Have Walls".
This was a good and catchy synth-pop effort. It completely stiffed
commercially, though. I guess the mystery gimmick just didn't work. 

Anyway, they never revealed who Blanket of Secrecy actually were.
Does anyone know? In the press release that accompanied the album, it was
mentioned that members of the group had been in an outfit that had
released stuff on Capricorn in the '70's. I believe they were managed
of Jake Riviera of Stiff Records fame. I have vague indications that
Wang Chung might be somehow related, but no confirmation thereof.

There's this group- they're called Devo, and they've been around since
the mid-70's. 

During their extended sojourn into the realms of music, they have
created some of the most interesting music in existence, and have
given to the world their own personal philosophy.

Now- would there be any interest in forming rec.music.devo? I'm not
quite sure what to do to begin this process- if someone could either
start the process themselves, or tell me what needs to be done, I
would be greatly appreciative.

I'm suprised I haven't seen anything yet.  There's a decent following of
"Happy the Man" on the net.  Perhaps they're busy over in alt.music.progressive.

HTM is a quintet from Virginia that eventually moved to Washington D.C.  The
original members were Stan Whitaker, Kit Watkins (did the stint with Camel),
Coco Roussel, Rick Kennell, and Frank Wyatt.  They have several albums: 

Happy The Man, released in 1977, was produced by Ken Scott of Mahavishnu
Orchestra, David Bowie and Supertramp fame.  I hear a bit of Mahavishnu
Orchestra in their sound.  Many consider this their best album.

Next came _Crafty Hands_ in 1978.  It was also very good.  Both have been
released on CD.

I don't believe that _Happy the Man Third "Better Late..." was released on
CD. It isn't as good as the first two anyway.


The best news is that there is a excellent complilation called "Retrospective" 
which contains cuts from all three albums.  It is released on the
"East Side Digital" label (200 N. Third ST. Minneapolis MN 55401).  From
the liner notes of that CD:

"Witness Happy the Man's masterful use of dynamics, tonal colors and 
counterpoint; it's ability to execute finger-breaking time signatures and
intricate harmonies with deft ease; the lattice-like melodies and ingenious 
thematic variations that surge and recede with unusual grace and power; and
the fact that no matter how complex or demanding its music became, the band
always sounded relaxed, uncluttered and in total control"

Retrospective (as well as their third album) contains a cut called "Eye
of the Storm" which also appeared on Camel's "I Can See My House From Here".

I highly recommend it.
