Ahoy there! haha hehe! What a great start to the day! Crackers Dolby-dreamscape got me heavily chuckling - which, incidentally is no mean feat at this time of the morning in darkest Finland. Thanks! Andy wrote (hi Andy) that he had a question... >> I was wondering if you've ever seen a copy of a album called "Blinded by Science" >> >> it's realy odd.. cuz the last 3 tracks.. (side B... windpower, airwaves, >> flying north...) >> all seem to be remixes but not like any i've heard before... >Is this true? Are there different mixes of these that >I've never heard (different from 12x12)? I've got a spare copy of this Harvest release if you are interested. It's nice. The cover isn't in the best shape (VG-) but the vinyl is EX. It is incidentally the same cover picture that was used for the Windpower PS if I'm not very much mistaken. Cool. I was going to auction it but if you would like it you have first refusal. Mail me separately.

Did I miss something back >in high school?? :-) >Ever notice how many things are "rare" on eBay??? Nope. You didn't miss a tick. This is just another someone who doesn't know what they're talking about again. I saw someone recently selling the soundtrack to the motion picture "Aliens Ate My Buick", featuring the Lost Toy People and Thomas Dolby - you know, the one who sang 'she blinded me with wireless'! There's one born every minute... On the subject of misinformation. I yesterday finally received a Japanese copy of SBMWS 7" with the Japanese language insert which also made me laugh out loud - much to the consternation of my co-workers. When I read the lyric sheet I was in hysterics. The translator obviously did it by ear and didn't have the original words to work from. I can hear machinery ....... I can feel her shivering She's tidied up and I can't find anything! ...... She tied it up and I can't find anything! all my tubes and wires And careful notes ....... Over to the mine and have a look. There's more too! I will be featuring this on my web-site if I ever get around to finishing it. Absolute Classic. I wonder if Thomas knows about this little faux pas? It made my day. Sorry Stephen for the duplication. I sent this to him yesterday in a separate mail.

Ah yes, is this the one that has "One of Our Submarines" starting out: "One of our submarines is missing tonight, Seems she ran aground on the rover..." I always felt sorry for poor Rover.

Guess it might behoove me to read the lyric sheets sometime, eh? Jeez... Covering her face in shame, Melissa - -- Melissa R.
