     Mysterious, but I can find some traces.  Alius is a adjective and
pronoun meaning "another" or "different".  Alio is an adverbial form
usually meaning "to another place", but can also mean "to another person".
Best word I could find to fit the sense though is aliusmodi, meaning "of
another kind".
     Any classicists out there?

     Well, I've always been in favour of Ron, after getting over the shock
that HW had added another member without creating a designated synth
player, and consider _Alien 4_ one of the HW highpoints of the decade so
far.  I've managed to not be appalled by some of his vocals which have
distressed others :)  I also give good marks for his lyrics!

Cheers,
Carl
