     Hi!  I'm taking this opportunity to discuss other PROGRESSIVE/ALTERNATIVE
groups other than Ms. Bush, upon the request of other posters. I am also
  totally for discussions on other Alternative groups. Hope to see more in the
 future!
            Anyway....

      Has anyone had the chance to listen to the new album by the W. German
band, Camouflage (Methods of Silence)? I've been lucky to acquire a Promo of
this great album, and have listened to it all. Although "Love Is A Shield" is
the 1st single released, I like "Feeling Down" probably the best.But "Anyone"
and "On Islands" are also excellent! I've become a big fan since their debut,
'Voices and Images' and was wondering on any possible tour dates???

     Any comments or feedback would be appreciated along with any tour info.

                                    Thanks!
                                           Mark Slater

Well, I have had the chance to preview tha labum (we've had it down at
the stationfor a week or two now) and overall I wasn't too impressed
it. I still get the impression that they are another Depeche Mode copy-
cat. Rather bland even. Of course this is not helped by the fact that
the DM's themselves have gotten on my nerves since they have refused to
try anything different. Whatever - commercialism sucks, even in the "al-
ternative scene."

No intentions of getting on soapbox...so I'll stop now ;)
