Hello Stuart
Replying to a message of Stuart Hedges to Michael Reed:
 SH> In a message of 02 Oct 97 Michael Reed wrote to me about Hello, is
 SH> there anybody in there?:
 MR>> Well I havn't got that many yet! My personal favorite at the moment
 MR>> is _The Wall_ . I'm listening to the album and watching the film a
 MR>> lot at
 SH> This may sound weird to you, but I found The Wall a little commercial.
 SH> My favourite Floyd album is, I think, Animals - I love guitar, and
 SH> the guitar is really allowed to let rip on Animals.
I'm into good guitar playing also. I'll try and check this one out then.
[The Secret Message In _The Wall_ ]
SH> Not easy on CD!
I've got a tape player that will play backwards. It's easy to spot as its one 
of the first songs on side one and sounds all swirly and backwards. Actually 
it's that 'dirty woman' song.  If you must spoil it for yourself then the 
first part is at the bottom of my sig. Just my little test to see if people 
are as cool as I am ;-)
 SH> I managed to find a vinyl copy of DSotM for a fiver, and it's
 SH> beautiful - near perfect condition.  Sounds incredible through my
 SH> 1976 turntable/amp!
Yeah, I'm into vinyl also. With the old turntable amp combo's you can turn 
the treble and bass right up just how I like it. 
 MR>> songs you like and get that album. Personaly, with a band like Pink
 MR>> Floyd I would rather have an album than a 'Greatest Hits' CD, albeit
 MR>> a *very* good one. The only one I've got so far that I did't really
 MR>> like
 SH> I feel the same way about Marillion: the albums are not just ten
 SH> singles in a row, they're properly thought out works in their own
 SH> right.
I much prefer listening to albums as whole units now. Thats one of the great 
advantages of LP/Tape. It sort of forces you to listen properly. I must admit 
with cd's I generaly skip around on cd. A lot of mainstream music is probably 
shaped by that fact now.
[PRATCHETT echo] 
I'm fixed in now so I'll probably drop you a line when I've finished The 
Colour Of Magic.
Bye then,
Michael Reed
