If you haven't heard these songs yet from the MP3 archive, go get them and listen. Now...imagine those without that MP3 compression and say to yourself, "I need this stuff on CD". It's WELL worth it as the quality is fantastic...especially the ROY demos. So if you haven't already got something arranged with Tom, reply to me directly and I will ship one out to you. I am charging the same price as Tom...$10, including packaging, shipping and Tom's excellent artwork. These CDs will be identical to Tom's except that my printer only does black & white so the jewel case will not be quite as exciting :) I'm only going to make these for the next 2 weeks or so so let me know right away if you want one. - -Russ (russkem_ms@msn.com) - - # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info hats" in the message. # Postings must go to hats@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Dec 1997 19:32:03 -0800 (PST) From: MAGENTA Subject: (hats) promo pkg's hiya mad hatters:D again, hope everyone's holidays were/are great ones!

To use it: 1. Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, Find your Windows folder and double-click. 2. Find the file called cdplayer.ini and double-click it. 3. Scroll to the bottom of the file (if it is blank then don't worry about it). 4. Paste the text at the end of this mail into the file. 5. Save the file. The next time you run CD Player, etc. the track list should be correct for the CD. Enjoy!

Well, I finally picked up The Spell the other day (too many CDs on shopping lists still to get, ick), and I have to say, I wasn't terribly impressed with most of it. Some of the tracks are fantastic, but some strike me as bad dance music (complete with the female 'diva' voices going 'whoop! whoop!' it seems). Is this the direction that Ivan is beginning to take, or is he trying to move more towards a techno vein, or what? Any ideas or comments? Also, I was poking around through the list archives and watching what's gone by of late, but I can't seem to find a tracklisting or description of what is on the 5 (?) bootleg CDs with the exception of the 5th one (which looks like it is the 'Ultra Rare Tracks' bootleg listed in the discography). Out of curiosity, what is on the other ones? I ask partly out of curiosity, and partly because I wouldn't mind getting some of them, but not all (from the descriptions that have gone by already). Thanks for your time, F. - -- Erm... Yeah.

It came a bit late, but I finally received the famous fifth instalment in the MWH bootleg saga, and I must tell you all that it's utterly AMAZING!

Thanks, Dave Mattingly - --- The Spell 7 mai 1997 - Montreal. Depuis qu'il a lance entier "You can dance if you want to", IVAN a ete un leader dans le monde de la musique pop electronique. Le compositeur et chanteur du groupe qui a conqueri la planete, Men Without Hats, est encore une fois destine aux sommets des palmaries avec son tout premier projet solo, The Spell. A la fin d'etudes en musique electronique a l'Universite McGill, IVAN fonde le group Men Without Hats qui s'impose d'abord dans l'underground montrealais avant d'exploser sur la scene internationale avec des titres tels que Safety Dance (top 10 dans 20 pays) et Pop Goes The World. Leur immense succes amene son lot de disques d'or et de platine, de nominations aux Grammy et Juno Awards et de ventes de disques; plus de 4,000,000 d'unites vendues dans le monde. Men Without Hats s'est affirme comme une force dominante de la scene musicale mondiale des annees 80. Alors que la musique electronique est une fois de plus identifee comme etant "The next big thing", IVAN continue, avec The Spell, a evoluer dans vet environment qui lui est si familier. L'album a ete realise par le legendaire britannique John Punter dont la liste des realisations inclut entre autres Roxy Music, Brian Ferry, Japan et Brian Eno. IVAN nous parle de son experience avec Punter: "Pour moi, l'experience fut fantastique. C'etait comme aller a l'ecole. C'etait extraordinaire de travailler avec un maitre qui a realise le moitie de mes meilleurs albums de tous les temps. John a un impressionant inventaire de sons et beaucoup d'idees. Il a su elever mes chansons a un autre niveua". IVAN a enregistre tout l'album lui-meme utilisant en meme temps la plus nouvelle technologie et des synthetiseurs "calssiques". Seuls deux choristes et un "rapper" accompagnent IVAN sur The Spell, un album qui n'est pas pas a la remorque des tendances, il les impose. "Venant de Montreal, j'ai toujours ete influence par le son Europeen ce qui veut dire des melodies accrocheuses appuyees per d'omnipresents "beats dance". C'est une musique exuberent et c'est me facon de commencer le Grand Dance Party de cette fin de millenaire", avoue IVAN. "Ce fut le siecle le plus rapide. Le Techno en est tres revelateur. Tout est axe sue le mouvement. On peut faire tellement de nos jours avec une souris, le plus recent logicel et de la pop irresistible". Le premier extrait de l'album, Open Your Eyes, a ete lance en radio d'un ocean a l'autre de tres belle facon, le 16 avril dernier lorsque des stations telles CHUM-FM, ENERGY 108, CKOI, CKMF et MIX 96 l'ont ajoute a leur programmation des sa reception. Le videoclip de Open Your Eyes sera lance a la mi-mai. The Spell disponible le 7 mai sur Disques Tox/Uforia, distribue par Select. Visitez IVAN sur le site Tox: www.toxrecords.com.
