I think that I was the trouble maker that started all of this ZTT
talk.  I would indeed like to get those discographies.  I myself am
entering the studio soon myself with my band _The Solefish_ in a
couple of month's and I find the FGTH, AON and Propaganda releases to
be very inspirational (I intend to produce this record myself).  I've
listened to a good deal of Dolby, Yello, The Residents, Sankefinger,
Gabriel, Bowie, KT, Level 42 and other odd things for production
ideas.

Do you have any other suggestions?  I have heard that John Foxx has
done some interesting stuff but I don't want to randomly pick a weak
record.  I really liked _How to be a Zillionaire_ by ABC and _Please_
by the Pet Shop Boys.  I wont have too much of a studio budget nor
access to the types of synths these folks have, but every bit of
ammunition helps.  Any suggestions as to other artists that I should
peruse (specific albums would be greatly appreciated)?  Anyway, thanks
for the discographies!

    [ John Foxx has a wonderful solo album called *Metamatic*.  None
      of his other solo stuff is nearly as good.  Good luck finding
      it, however.  -- |>oug ]

Have you tried stuff by They Might Be Giants?  I have one of their
albums (their first?  It has Don't Let's Start, Everything Right is Wrong
Again).  They do live gigs but are primarily a studio band.  They use
personal computers a lot for their FX and accompaniment.

Good luck,
Lindsey
