Why > they don't just bill themselves as Throwing Muses, I have no idea. Often the band name is owned by one member, and often not the best known. This leads to weird situations like Yes without Chris Squire having to bill themselves as Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, and any combination of players that includes Greg Downes being Asia. It gets even weirder when the management owns the name which, in cases like many oldies acts and Menudo, can lead to bands containing none of their original members. And there are often disputes, which leads to situations like two battling disjunct Fleetwood Macs being around a long time ago or the whole Roger Waters/Pink Floyd thing.

It worked quite well in an improvised 3D digitizer. Check it out. Pitch of 1.6 microns and focal length of 60 mm. Do you know how much an optical element with these features would cost as a one off? How about $1000? Tom ditto@taconic.net "Do you copy?

I was compiling bookmarks for the Music Tech Division here at berklee (that's part of my work-study job), and looked up the 4AD website and saw an announcement that she and Dean Fisher had a child on April 13th. The girl's name is Gracie. http://www.4ad.com/frameset.html Paul "i am a goat boy" Kim ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V5 #154 **************************
