Lazlo and I worked at a software company called Basis (in Albuquerque,NM) back in the mid-90's, but that's none of my Business BASIC anymore

I want NewOrder Story on DVD

Thanks for all the props for the Discography Machine, guys. Maybe someday I'll start updating it again! [8]

Jfiber: Okay, if I wanted to get anal I would probably put at least a half-dozen other artists (Yello, DEVO, Torch Song, Thomas Dolby...) ahead

lazlo, your site was my BIBLE back in the day. even corresponded with you, but you wouldn't remember. nothing of consequence.

i had heard that there were devo remasters coming, but never heard another thing about it. specifically "shout"... the cd mast

I agree Prince's catalog definitely needs remastering. I sort of thought this would be the year considering his comeback; and the 20th anniv of Purple Rain. By so far, no luck. The only thing I have heard about the Cure remasters is that there is a 2 c
