I thought that explosion sounded familiar.  However, I have to disagree with
you about QSound.  QSound, IMHO, sucks rocks.  You have to be placed too
closely to the "sweet spot" to get the full effect, and a lot of the music
is canceled out if you're listening, say, over a small, monophonic radio.
Also, the effect is highly annoying to some (like me) over headphones, which
is how I like to do my most intense listening - lets me study the way the
album was constructed and all of the little fiddly bits.  I did listen to
the album first with headphones, then again last night sitting in the correct
position (trouble is, when out of phase material pops up in a recording, I
simply recognize it as out of phase material, and not "in the next yard,"
as the liner notes would have me believe).  I will agree that the album
sounds better sitting with speakers than on headphones, but...

Of course, this isn't a rag on Waters at all; I have the same complaints with
Sting's _The_Soul_Cages_.  To me, they're both fine albums that are slightly
annoying (QSound).

Actually the Outfield has 5 albums, I believe.  You named the first
three above.  There is also Diamond Days and then their latest,
RockEye (Not sure on this name).  I have all of them and there has
been a definite change in sound.  They also have had a change in
personel.  I believe they dropped a member if I remember correctly.

Well, the song is "Tin Man" by America, so you could look up the lyrics on

"...and cause never was the reason for the evening, of the tropic of Sir 
Galahad".

<stuff deleted>

 You are saying that the subject of the Amused to Death album is the same as
Final Cut _and_ KAOS.. ?? 
Well, I am not so sure.. 
The Final Cut(TFC) is mostly a anti-war record.. He talks about the post-war
dream .. This album is a sharp critisism to Maggie and The Falkland war.
About KAOS I am not entirely sure of what the real subject of that album is.
I haven't listeend to it that much. 
BUT.. but AmusedToDeath talks about many other things.. not just anti-war, but
TV and religion and 'it's a shitty world all together'-things .

Anyways.. I found that the new album from Roger Waters has moved on from both
his previous solo's and his work with Pink Floyd.
Both the music and the lyrics moves me very much.

As of the story of Bill Hubbard, listen to the old man, Alf something, in the
first song and the same old man at the end of Amused to death.
This man talk s about he finding Bill somewhere in nomansland during the first
world war. He picks him up, but after a while he have to leave Bill out there..
to die.. They, Alf and Bill, were both Royal Fusiliers(probably company C :))

Check it out yourself and enjoy the album.

I did and still do!

When they played it on WNEW-FM they said it reminded them of Warren Zevon.

Now for a question: is the leader of this group a Mr. Something del Amitri,
or is his first name Del and his surname Amitri?

I guess you mean 'Genesis' song Phil sang lead on...
It was long before PG left: For Absent Friends in 1971.
Right after Phil joined! :) (He also sang lead on several
Ark 2 songs with Flaming Youth in 69)

Later on, in 1976, the *first* song Phil did the lead vocal

Its off of a Eurythmics album from 1985 ("Be Yourself Tonight" I think).

So, yes, she did, but not as a solo.

I don't know if this will answer your question, but Phil Collins
was the drummer for Genesis and when Peter Gabriel left for a solo
career, Phil came out from behind the drums and became the lead singer.

	I recently bought some British music rag, and according to it and
it's interview with Billy Duffy, he thinks the Cult has been in a rut,
and apparently he and Ian are working on a "new chapter" in the Cult.
It was pretty vague on what that meant, but he confirmed that much of
Ceremony was for commercial, accessable gain.  He also said that while
he and Ian worked with Rick Rubin (_Electric_ producer) on a few small
projects (something for Cool World), they had no plans on working with
him on another album.
 
 	In an MTV interview with him and Ian a few months back, he had his
hair cut back to it's Lovish lengths, and although I really couldn't
tell, it looked like Ian had cut his to little over shoulder length.  Pretty
much, it was over the _Ceremony_ cover controversy though...

I recently was in a record store in Cornell's collegetown

for the new single "Digging in the Dirt" on 7" vinyl, of

to be shipped from Geffen in a week or so. The store owner

CD-5 or cassingle.  The album is supposed to get here on

   Did I hear someone request a guess?  Okay, fine.

   The first two lines are pretty obvious.  In the movie, the Wizard
gave the Tin Man a heart (actually I think it was a clock shaped like
a heart).  The point is, the Tin Man already had a metaphysical heart
(feelings, emotions, nobility, etc.), and so Oz only gave him a
representation of one.
   As far as the third line, I think it would be fare to interpret this
as saying the evening comes no matter what happens, so looking for a
reason is silly.
   The last line leaves me marginally clueless, but if there is an
English major on the net (i.e., someone who actually owns a dictionary),
you can probably look up the word tropic and find one of the definitions
of the word probably makes sense in context.  Just a guess.

But the best part was that it had jets on it, jets taxi'ing and taking
