Ahhh memories. Had this when it was new. Strangely, a friend ended up partners in the movie biz with a negativelander a decade later.
The movie biz??? The Dream Factory of Hollywood?? I suppose its only a short hop from here into the world of film and TV.
After "Sonic Outlaws" (1995 documentary about plunderphonics) one of the Negativeland folks (I forget which one) was a partner in my friends independent movie theatre in Albuquerque.
