HW: Spaced Comments

[Rudich, Robert A]

FoFP>I finally got it converted from CD-I to PAL-VHS tape. [snip] "Utopia"
is thankfully
FoFP>"Arrival In Utopia" though and that and "Coded Languages" appear
FoFP>complete.

A clue on one of the non CD releases.  I take it that "Utopia" is not one of
the great songs and I didn't know it was different than "Arrival In Utopia".
 Thanks.  Any comments vs. the previous video on sound quality, picture
quality, overall desirability?   Compare and contrast.

Paul W>    Throughout the rest of March he will be doing specials on the
Paul W>five most frequently featured bands in his program: Bauhaus, Toyah,
Paul W>Cabaret Voltaire, Eloy, and to finish off the month long celebration,
Paul W>a three hour epic based on the history of the relatively unknown
Paul W>space rock group, Hawkwind.

I can barely find my HW stuff with all the Bauhaus, Toyah, Cabaret Voltaire,
& Eloy CDs to shuffle past.  Paul, Oz is certainly not Kansas (I figure you
didn't write the column).  Want to start a pirate short wave broadcast for a
month?

Also, thanks for the _Do not Panic Review_ , it reminded me of some
questions I wanted to ask.   I see this was recorded in 80 and 84.  What is
when?   The LP from 80 and the EP from 84?  I want to figure out who is
playing, cuz Ginger isn't that distinctive on the drums.

I like this version of "Shot down in the Night" better than the Live 79
version, primarily for the guitar work.  Both are worth getting and this
would be an interesting point in a codex rating (beat that horse to death).
 Somebody else posted that this version was several months ago and I
silently agreed with him then.  "Angels of Death" has a great ominous tone
that no other version has and it fits the song well.  This quiet power is
how I'd envision an Angel of Death introducing itself.  I'd vote this the
best of the "Angels of Death" versions.  I also like the old version on the
_Collections_ CD a lot.

I have a UK import vinyl of this, but not an original issue.  No pictures or
label notes.   They seem to drop off the best parts.   Thanks for filling me
in.  Maybe I'll write the label notes on my copy.  I have the CD 2 and it
has some art work and photos, but as seen in a crystal ball.  Good for
effect, but not for details.
