And, following up my own question about the CD reissue of _Pop-Eyes_, I did get it and it's wonderful. Everything is performed by DD, recorded on a 4-track in 1982. It's a lot quirkier and more primitive than the later Dax, with eccentric sax solos, some TR-808 backing parts, amateurish-but- cool guitar and percussion, weird synth sounds, the usual wide range of Dax voices, etc. The only tracks that I had heard before were "Bed Caves" (on _Dark Adapted Eye_) and "Numb Companions" (the version on the Dax Peel Sessions). The CD itself is a nice picture-disc of the "meat collage" from the cover artwork. There's a full booklet with lyrics and more meat photos. BTW, I'm still looking for that Japanese Dax CD, _The Chemical Wedding_. If anyone spots a copy (or wants to sell theirs), I'll gladly pay the usual hideous Japanese-import price for it (plus shipping). -- Larry Spence larry@cs.com uunet!csccat!larry
