Skip the rest. Listen to the Hawtin Mixmag CD. And read the inside sleeve. One of the best CDs I've bought this month. I've just stumbled onto the concept of online shopping. Makes so much sense for anyone who lives in a town where it's hard ( impossible? ) to get any decent music. I ordered 7 CDs last Wednesday from CDland in San Francisco, and they arrived Yesterday. Work out at an average of #10.50 each. Which is 4.50 cheaper than the asking price at a record store :) -- Hary J Walsh hwalsh@drlove.ilo.dec.com +353 91 754169 Even a stopped clock gives Digital Equipment International, the right time twice a day.
