That's it.

>One song 'Noodle In A Nutshell' was 22 minutes long.

That's it.

>What 2CD compilation?

Um...I guess you didn't see my free offer?  :)  The tracklisting is below.
I'm out of spare copies and am not really inspired to burn up another set,
since I have other things to work on at the moment, like my degree for
instance.  :)  And anyway, your package is already set to go in the mail
tomorrow (will you be around to get it?).  Plus, some of those who already
have copies said they might be willing to burn more for others, so if
there's a big cry for them now, I could be urged to put people in contact
with each other.  The graphic files for the inserts are still up at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/igrastaklenihperli/files under space01a.gif
and space01b.gif (I think).

>I'll check out Aural Innovations and see what I can find out about the others.

Thanks for your support.  :)

Grakkl (FAA)

P.S.  I only have one Igra disc left at the moment.  Extremely late last
call for that one.  (Scott - yours will be in the mail tomorrow too.)

P.P.S.  For those that already have the compilation below (if somebody
didn't get one that was promised one, let me know!), again I would be
interested to hear your impressions.  Several have already responded with
nice writeups, and even 1-10 rankings.  If I get sufficient responses, I'll
put together a 'group synopsis' and let you know who we all think have the
widest appeal to boc-l subscribers.  Think of it as Oprah's Book Club in space.
