He's in Nashvegas with the Pickled Beats ain't he?
They make a CD yet?

Jerry is working on mixes for a 5-song EP with Pickled Beats (his British Invasion cover band). He's sent me some preliminary mixes... they're VERY good, and the Beats are getting a really good reputation in Nash.

Nice, nice, nice version! I was really impressed with the mix, dynamics, and the way it wasn't a slavish copy of the original but had some of "you" in it as well.
I'm bookmarking your site...

yup......
ok, well 15 and 1984.....

I was 14 in 1986, but had yet to discover DA. I actually didn't discover them until recently when my husband, Mountain Fan, bought MBD and put it in. Great CD. You must get it Lysander. Oh, and welcome to the DAmb!

it was Alarma & HD back in '81 that turned me on to this amazingly creative and artistic bunch... but Doppelganger definitely secured me as a fan who would purchase anything DA ever released...

I was disappointed with Doppelganger at first. I was like, "What's all this Hollow Man noise about?" Then it got sucked into a vacuum cleaner before I could really listen to it for a long time. It was a few years before I got it back. And of course I grew to love it as my tastes were seasoned.
I was extremely into HD at the time and I hadn't heard Alarma yet but the Local store had Doppelganger so I got that. It wasn't til the late 80's that I finally got Alarma with the chronicles folded and shrink-wrapped to the cassette.
Anyway

You don't change the bag on your vacuum very often, do you?

To get that out would be worth tearing the bag open and getting a new bag for the vaccuum.

waitwaitwaitwaitwaitWAITAMINUTE!
I think we're all missing the point here. What I wanna know is:
1. What the heck were you vacuuming that you sucked a cassette tape up? Or better yet, where exactly do you store your cassettes that they would be in danger of being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner?
2. How HUGE would a vacuum have to be to just engulf a cassette tape outright?
3. Did you go ahead and just finish vacuuming or did you stop and turn it over and look at what must have made that god-awful noise when your vacuum sucked up a cassette tape?
I am trying to get this picture in my head and I'm havign some trouble...

Eddie is the perfect blend of Kramer and George if that helps
you understand the situation any better, and in typical George
fashion he proably did not want to give the vacuum the satisfaction
of it knowing that it ate something he valued.
As far as how it got sucked up - total Kramer. Eddie probaly tripped
over the coffee table, knocked down the entertainemt center at which
point everything came crashing down on the floor and that is how the
tape got sucked up.

Hey Nonprophet,
I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but... I think I like your version better than the original

Woah, nelly!
What a blasphem...uh, I mean compliment. Thanks for saying so. I just wish I'd had this one done when the "When Worlds Colllide" tribute was being put together. Being a child of the 80s, I've always thought the criticism of Vox Humana's production was so much hindsight... I mean almost EVERYONE was experimenting with electronic gear back then. The songs on Vox shine through any production trends, though. A long time ago, I also did a version of "Sanctuary" that sounds like Pink Floyd... maybe I'll post that next if I can find it...

I absolutely agree! I actually think the 80's electronic sound enhances the theme of the record, what with technology dehumanizing us and all the spiritual implications it carries. I agree that the songs are so strong they withstand the outdated production. It's always been one of my favorites.
Interestingly, when Terry Taylor was producing our second CD, I asked him what was his favorite DA record (keep in mind this was 1990). He told me he really liked Vox Humana but regretted the production. He said he wished he could re-record it with more updated production. Me, too!

My sentiments exactly! And Vox is just fine like it is (although a re-recording would be cool).
