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! ----- Stuart Gove Boeing Computer Services "He left the bar with four women, one on each arm."
