This may have been asked on here before, but I've fallen 40 odd digests behind (which ain't hard, btw)... I was passing through a shop today and picked up a cd titled: Various Artists: Project Unison - Original Soundtrack (Neo Ouija Films/Hydrogen Dukebox) http://www.hydrogendukebox.com/ Surely enough I see Clatterbox and Metamatics listed a few times but think little of it other than the fact that I've got a cd on Neo Ouija by Metamatics & Clatterbox called Project Unison (which I thought until further inspection this evening to be an actual collab. between them). The tracklist of the "soundtrack" which led to my confusion looks like this: 1. 'It catches my heart in its hands...' - Clatterbox 2. 'The town and the city...' - Metamatics 3. 'Her face in the autumn sun...' - Circus Mind 4. 'Modems of lust...' - Norken 5. 'A monorail to your star...' - Clatterbox 6. 'Window shade dusk...' - Leccy Man 7. 'Long distance voice mail...' - Clattermatics 8. 'Blue moon rising...' - Metamatics Anyway, much to my surpise... Upon listening to the new cd, it's exactly the same as the older cd except its packaging has been totally reworked. The tracks have new titles and artist names (though their still credited to the right people in the fine print). Not only that, I can't find any mention of an actual film on the website (or imdb.com for that matter) even though on sticker on the case it says it's 'a new arthouse road movie' I plan to get my money back in the meantime, but what the heck is the deal with this thing???? -Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

yeah, i fell into the same trap. what's the deal with this? i can deal with the fact that the film is just a joke (or maybe it isn't, who knows?), but putting the same tracks out under different names and "different" artists, and then changing the whole premis of the release (i.e. collab vs. sdtrk) and the artwork... or am i one of only two suckers that screwed up and bought both? anyone know why this was done? alan np:brainfreeze On Tue, 6 Mar 2001, Andrew Larson wrote:
