	Really-From: Tavares@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA

	So far, the only hints I have gleaned from this list is that it
	is linked to the gay culture and uses a lot of synths.  Could
	somebody please give me some example of Hi-NRG bands or cuts so
	that I can place what it is you are categorizing?

How about anything that Bronski Beat has done in the last 9 months?

The 12" of _Johnny, Remember Me/I Feel Love_ with Marc Almond and the
newer _Hit That Perfect Beat_ are both two good examples of the kind of
thing that makes me imagine being in a smokey crowded glitzy dance
floor with tons of mirrors and a million gay men swooning around and
doing nitrous until you're so wasted that you pass out.

The beat just keeps getting faster and faster and more hypnotic.

The kind of thing that *feels* drug-induced if you want to hear it
and can give a migrain if you don't.

Subject: Front 242 et al.


I need some help on this one.  Does anyone know the relationship
between the bands: Front 242, Revolting Cocks, Manufacture, and Ministry?

I know Alain Jourgenson of Ministry has produced Revolting Cocks,
and I've heard that they are just a subset of Front 242.
Someone else told me that the guys in Manufacture came from
Front 242.  C'mon guys, what's the real scoop.


***  Beastie Boys @ Spit in Boston      23 May 1986  ***

This was one hot show.  Even though the Boys only played
5 songs and were only on stage for 30 minutes, they really
rocked the place.  When a band comes into Spit, (one of the
smallest places major bands play in Boston) they usually
are confronted by so many pretentious wanker assholes that
want to dictate the set, that the atmosphere gets dull real quick.

This was far from the case on Friday night,  The Boys stepped
out on stage and promptly proceeded to commence with some
serious beer-drinking.  They were having more fun than the
crowd and that's going pretty far.  If you get a chance
to see this band, even if you don't like the music, go
just for the party!  There was some of the best stage-diving
I've seen in years, and most of it was done by the band.

What is a puppeteer's third foot?
Anyone know?

Subject: Fairlight CMI

The Fairlight is not just a synthesizer, it is a digital synthesizer (hence
the "Computer Musical Instrument") A fine competitor in this respect is the
Synclavier from New England Digital, as used by L. Anderson, et al.

Everyone should have one.
