Subject: Good Heavens, Mr. IED...
...I had no idea there was any significance to the use of the name "Sakamoto" in "SBMwS" (that's "She Blinded Me with Science" for you non-Dolby fans) -- I thought it was just a campy line as one would expect a Magnus Pyke-type character to deliver in some mad-scientist movie. I tried to figure out whether it was "Ms." or "Miss", but couldn't hear properly. However, you're probably right, unless he was just using the name itself without wanting to refer to anyone in particular. (Does IED have some inside information on this?) As for Thomas Dolby, he has released only the two versions of _The Golden Age of Wireless_, and _The Flat Earth_, right? Or am I missing some later recording? (_TFE_ was at least three years ago!) --Jamie. ...!seismo!ubc-vision!ubc-cs!andrews "Shallow water, channel and tide"
