        I'll have to check that out. I really like that vid they 
        did about "you do it toyourself" where the guy jjust lies 
        down ona sidewalk and everybody freaks out about it. I 
        thought that was ok. 
 
        ObProg: I recently purchased Golgotha _Symphony in 
        Extremis_. The GEPR describes this as excellent heavy 
        keyboard-laden symphonic progmetal, and I'd have to 
        agree. It's what The Enid would sound like if The Enid 
        took some testosterone shots and got real aggressive. The 
        vocals remind me of the better parts of Uriah Heep or 
        Arthur Brown, but the instrumental parts are very symph, 
        highly dynamic. It's all done by one guy, Karl Foster, 
        yet it manages to avoid midi-itis, quite remarkably so, 
        really, considering I'm highly sensitivein that regard.. 
        The lyrics are unimpressive, but neither are they 
        offensive weak. There's another Golgotha album out called 
        _Unmaker of Worlds_ and I'll probably pick it up if it 
        crosses my path. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
