Sorry about that, I should have taken a little more time in describing
what this was all about.

The new CD from Firesign Theatre is actually a game, one in which the
player selects the next track to be played based on clues given on the
current track being played.  In effect, you "interact" with the CD!  It
helps if your player has auto-pause and a numeric keypad to select
tracks with, even better if it has remote control.

To muddy the waters further, the Firesign Theatre's CD is also the first
one to include subcode graphics with the audio!  You'll need a decoder
to access the graphics, such as the one from Sony to be released Real
Soon Now (:-).

To find out more about this, I suggest that you pick up the November
issue of Digital Audio.  As for myself, I can hardly wait to Eat Or Be
Eaten!
