Certainly not SD'99, but we can start dreaming about the draXters at SD'00.
But yeah, Sonique, has there been any transmissions from the fjords lately?
"Tombola" should be damn well near finished already...where is it?

I second the Griffin notion...has Rob G. been contacted about this possibility?

>        I now have three of their CDs (all of em I believe),

Nope.  There's a fourth (you're almost certainly missing the second release,
darker).  It's way out-of-print now.  I very much doubt you can find them
anymore, except in an auction or something.  It's pretty darn good too, I
should point out.

And there's also the ltd. ed. CD-R of Live DarXtar w/ Nik Turner (HawXtar).
Sonique can tell you about that one.

Try www.cdquest.com.  That's where I got mine.  They also have the Dawn of
Hawkwind CD.  Looks like two versions, $14 for jewel boxed (?), and $18 for
the ltd. ed. book w/ CD in back.  That's what I got the other day.  CD Quest
is very quick...I like them.

Too late on 'darker,' eh?

ObTruth:  My favourite line in the Dawn of Hawkwind book.  Written in 1967
about the Famous Cure:  "The business side is still always their weakest
side but people don't notice this when they play."

Ob_DoH_track:  Illusions - early spoken-lyric version of Mirror of
Illusion/Mask of Morning.  I'll have to play the three back-to-back-to-back
some day.  Cool evolution.
