You give an impassioned defense of the way this list works, which you are perfectly entitled to do. But I think I have a valid question you haven't addressed: if people who don't like the Dolby-to-personal ratio of this list shouldn't be here in the first place, *where should they be*? Is there someplace online where people can discuss Thomas Dolby without being made to feel like they've stumbled into someone else's family reunion? - -- Lazlo Nibble - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - http://www.studio-nibble.com -- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Aug 1999 00:20:40 -0700 (PDT) From: "Charles E.

Some of you find it hard to believe that there is actually a place called Chorlton-cum-Hardy (those of you who were Alloy subscribers when the great Alloy T shirt project was under way may remember someone asking if it was a real place). Well, I've just had a peek at our website and there are a number of recent pics of the area. So, if you'd like to see where Slarvi hangs out, look here http://www.mmu.ac.uk/h-ss/sis/chorlton/chorlpic.htm :: I really liked seeing these pictures. Chorlton looks like a really pleasant place! For a look at a place not far from us, where we frequently go for comic books & to replenish my skeleton key/tintype collection, you can visit a page for Ithaca, NY: http://www.ithaca.ny.us/AboutIthaca/ On a Dolby-related note, I've received a few letters from people in my other newsgroups who've visited my Images and Interviews page, who are very psyched about Beatnik & the idea of web sonification. Word is getting around the goth community (Thomas... expect to have your gloomiest RMF files flying off the shelves very soon!) I'm sending this message via Alloy @ 10.30 pm on Sunday... hoping to see when we're reconnected & the smoe backlog sorted through.. Robin T ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Aug 1999 04:33:48 -0400 From: "Stephen M. Tilson" Subject: Alloy: "12 X 12 Original Remixes" Dear Trevor, Welcome back, once again! You asked: > Miles, > > Although this is printed to look like an LP, is it actually a CD? > Sorry, I've missed the track listings & previous mails as you are > aware, could you tell me therefore if there are any previously > unreleased tracks It is a CD. There are no previously unpublished tracks included. Five of these tracks were not previously available on CD. See my notes below. Ok, I'll be back in 75:15 after I've had my first listen to the disc. (Hey, that's a pretty long disc!) . . . Well, that was fun! Here are the details: 1) Europa and the Pirate Twins (Extended Version) (4:02) With the same inexpertly inserted instrumental bridge (partial beat missing in between instrumental and vocal bridge sections) as on the vinyl version. Not previously available on CD. 2) Windpower (High Power Extended Play) (5:51) With the complete shipping forecast! Not previously available on CD. 3) Flying North (High Altitude Extended Play) (5:36) 14 seconds of fade out missing in comparison to the vinyl original. Not previously available on CD. 4) She Blinded Me with Science (Extended Version) (5:09) Just in case you didn't already have a copy of this . . . Duh. But it still sounds damn good after all these years. 5) One of Our Submarines (Extended Version) (7:14) With the cool instrumental verse up front. EMI didn't see fit to print the whole title, just like in the next track. 6) Get Out of Mix (8:00) That's right - a song we've never heard before. But it does sound an awful lot like "Get Out of *My* Mix". 7) Hyperactive! (Heavy Breather sub-version) (5:05) Record exec: Tom, we want you to write something like that `Science' thingammy. You know, real quirky with lots and lots of that techno stuff you do. OK, killer? 8) Dissidents: The Search for Truth (Part 1) (7:17) One of Thomas' most creative remixes. Perhaps my favorite. Like you care or something. 9) May the Cube be with You (3D Mix) (6:49) Record exec: Tom, we want you to write something like that `Science' thingammy. You know, real quirky with lots and lots of that techno stuff you do. OK, killer? 10) Airhead (Francois Kevorkian Mix) (7:05) aka: Airhead (Extended Version), part I.) Francois' Mix Not previously available on CD. Of all the Airheads this is not the one I'd pick. I like the Def Ears Mix best. 11) Hot Sauce (Extended Mix) (7:00) aka: Hot Sauce (Extended Version) Of all the Hot Sauces this is the one I'd pick too. 12) My Brain is like a Sieve (Extended Version) (5:37) aka: My Brain is like a Sieve (Extended Mix) Well, they haven't paid very close attention to the titles in general, so I'm not surprised at the juxtapositions here and in the previous track. EMI shoulda had one of us proof it for them. Not previously available on CD. And that's what it is! It's the best bit of Dolby to come out in absolutely years. Highly recommended! Go out and buy two or three today and maybe EMI will get the idea and release a disc of b-sides and other rarities like "Urban Tribal". HAhahahahahahahahaha. As IF! 12x12 Original Remixes is definitely a great value for your Dolby Dollar/Pound/Franc/Yen/Ruble/whathaveyou. You could easily spend the same amount just to get track 1 in its original format - on pop `n scratch vinyl no less! Have fun, /\/\iles ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V4 #218 ***************************
