OFF: Voivod

It sounds like I will definitely have to get this one.  I have all
the other Voivod albums on CD, and Negatron is my least favorite.

>highly recommended!!!


Away is such a talented artist!!!  Not the same vibe Hawkwind had
with Barney Bubbles, but I can't think of a single band that uses
art with music the way Voivod does.  (Hauntingly original, too!)

Say, wasn't Negatron supposed to be a CD-ROM as well?  I stuck it
in my computer and found nothing.  So far the only CD I have that
has computer files is Prong - Rude Awakening.  Maybe my copy of
Negatron is from the wrong label, or something.
