	Let's hear it for Holger!  I think the stuff he's done since he
grew up is pretty hot, too. "Movies" is an incredible album, if only for
"Persian Love" and "Cool in the Pool". His next two, "on the way to the
peak of normal" and "den Osten ist Rot", are good but (I think) more
difficult.
	I have two Irmin Schmidt albums, "Toy Planet" and "Film Music vol.1"
both are quite fine, and highly recommended.

> 2. David Sylvian: Brilliant Trees
> 3. YMO: BGM and Technodelic
> 4. Ippu-Do: Night Mirage
> 5. Miharu Koshi: Tutu and Parallelisme

Another Japanese music fan. Good taste, IED. Have you tried following
the YMO clan as solos? Quite an expensive hobby, but worthwhile. Are
there other LH "Nipponophiles" out there?

>Many people have claimed that PGIII is the PGs of all PGs.

	I've heard several people on the net say that. My personal
two drachmas worth is that PGIV is the best. The only song that I
think is less than a masterpiece on that album is "Kiss of Life", 
which is still a good song. BTW, if and when he tours, sell your
mother for a seat, but *go see him*. I've seen him six times, and
he has been absolutely incredible each time. The last two (same tour,
a week apart) were the weakest, I think because of the computer
lighting, but still blew away anyone else I've ever seen. I'd be
interested in seeing Bruce Springsteen just to compare the two.

   Sally Oldfield, worthy of some attention herself.

Just a note- SO is, technically, PG VII. "Plays Live" and "Birdy" both
appeared in there. I know, live albums don't really count, and I can
see arguments for calling Birdy only a half, but ...

	Funny you should mention it. This past Saturday was the date of the
(drum roll, please)
	Fourth Annual Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush WJHU Memorial Crab Feast

a grand tradition that was started on the occaision of Pete's last
concert tour (yes, it's been four years), which I believe occurred
either on or near Kate's bday. I counted at least three LoveHound
denizens there - meself, Sue Trowbridge, and a mystery guest who asked
to remain anonymous. Maybe we should expand on this next time.
 

>(Oh, and Douglas... as soon as those "The Dreaming" cd's come in, I'll give

	When? Where? I want one, too!
