Games Without Frontiers remix (& my last name)

We bought at Tower, and finally had a chance to listen to the
"Games Without Frontiers" remix on the b-side of the "Steam"
cassingle, and it's *GREAT*!!! It's *completely* different.
The best I could do to describe it would be to say.....uh...
...something like.... the "acoustic dub" mix. At first I
thought that Kate was taken out altogether, but later in
the song she comes in singing her part in a very soft,
ethereal way. I'm sure it's not new vocals by either Peter
or Kate, but I do think they are alternative recordings.
You know Peter, he'll record something fifty million ways
then choose which one to use. Oh to have free run of his
archives!

Btw, we didn't see a CD single, though I'm sure one exists.

Jane Siberry is on the Toys soundtrack too!!

No, I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know. (And no, I don't
have eyes like that, but they sound interesting. My eyes are brown and
I always wanted blue eyes. Icy blue, like Kirstie Alley or Meg Foster.)

Weirdly enough, last night on the Emma Thompson show, she used the last
name "Mapes" in one of her skits. To make it even weirder, my maiden name
was Thompson! Odd happenings...
