The fuzz isn't muffled one bit, and it gives a great, full sound.

The title is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, By Phillip K. Dick. You probably know the story beter as "balde Runner" since it served as the bases for the film and P.K.D actualy consulted on the movie shortly before his death. It's a great introduction to the man who IMHO is a master writer. Briefly, the book deals with an earth thats like Seattle Meets 1970's urban decay NYC where "replicants" have been created to do the dangerous tasks ih off owrld colonies and the menial ones here Of course as they become more techniologically sophisticated, they also want to live more human lives and some of them turn murderous in order to return to earth and try to live with people. The law enforcement who track them down and retire them are called Blade runners, since they are so perfectly designed, it's almost impossible to detect them. This is the 1040EZ explaination and leaves out alot of the psyco-drama that makes the book click. Read it first and them (if you haven't seen it,) rent the movie. Then move on to "The man in the High castle" Dick won a hugo award for it..... goodnight from book corner...Moparlary ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 08:40:13 -0700 From: "Garrett Brittenham" Subject: I feel dirty...

You are dealing with a man that occasionally wrote under the influence. My opinion on Mercerism was that this was a society so devoid of actual experience and full of false idols, they needed some way to channel there emotions, therefore Mercer. As with PKD, I am oversimplifying, but I read (or heard) this book a few years ago. The movie is (as those who have read it) a verrry (with extra r's) small slice of the book. As for wild gigs, there was always the first time that I saw the Woggles. Not only did they jump around and move in unison, they played and played tight! The wildest thing to happen in recent memory was the small intraband (is this the opposite of contraband?) fight that broke out during the Conquerors set.
