Subject: (hats) MWH Demos - CD #5

I have offered to help Tom out with the burning of the new Demo CD. If you
haven't heard these songs yet from the MP3 archive, go get them and listen.
Now...imagine those without that MP3 compression and say to yourself, "I need
this stuff on CD". It's WELL worth it as the quality is fantastic...especially
the ROY demos.

So if you haven't already got something arranged with Tom, reply to me
directly and I will ship one out to you. I am charging the same price as
Tom...$10, including packaging, shipping and Tom's excellent artwork. These
CDs will be identical to Tom's except that my printer only does black & white
so the jewel case will not be quite as exciting :)

I'm only going to make these for the next 2 weeks or so so let me know right
away if you want one.

Subject: (hats) MWH Demos - CD #5

I received my 3 CD bootleg set from Tom this weekend and it sounds
fantastic!  The quality really exceeded my expectations.  I want to
thank Tom and Russ for making these discs available.

I am also glad that these songs are available on the MP3 archive.  I
have downloaded quite a few of them in anticipation of receiving my
set in the mail and the quality is actually quite good.

Thanks to everyone for making '97 an exceptional year for Hats fans!

Subject: (hats) CD #5 cdplayer.ini entry

For those of you getting their CDs from me, I have created a cdplayer.ini
entry that will work with Win95's CD Player, FlexiCD and other CD players that
read that file.

To use it:

1. Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, Find your Windows folder and
double-click.
2. Find the file called cdplayer.ini and double-click it.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the file (if it is blank then don't worry about
it).
4. Paste the text at the end of this mail into the file.
5. Save the file.

The next time you run CD Player, etc. the track list should be correct for the
CD.

Enjoy!

From: Alex <[e-mail]>
Subject: (hats) The Spell / The Various Bootleg CDs...

Well, I finally picked up The Spell the other day (too many CDs on
shopping lists still to get, ick), and I have to say, I wasn't terribly
impressed with most of it.  Some of the tracks are fantastic, but some
strike me as bad dance music (complete with the female 'diva' voices
going 'whoop! whoop!' it seems).  Is this the direction that Ivan is
beginning to take, or is he trying to move more towards a techno vein,
or what?  Any ideas or comments?

Also, I was poking around through the list archives and watching what's
gone by of late, but I can't seem to find a tracklisting or description
of what is on the 5 (?) bootleg CDs with the exception of the 5th one
(which looks like it is the 'Ultra Rare Tracks' bootleg listed in
the discography).  Out of curiosity, what is on the other ones?  I
ask partly out of curiosity, and partly because I wouldn't mind getting
some of them, but not all (from the descriptions that have gone by
already).

Thanks for your time,

F.

Hey fellow Hatters!

It came a bit late, but I finally received the famous fifth instalment in
the MWH bootleg saga, and I must tell you all that it's utterly AMAZING!
So thank you Tom for delivering what was once thought of as unobtainable.

BTW, all of you who do not have this CD...when the time comes...JUMP ON THE
OPPORTUNITY.

Later,
Vince

The Spell

7 mai 1997 - Montreal. Depuis qu'il a lance entier "You can dance if you
want to", IVAN a ete un leader dans le monde de la musique pop
electronique. Le compositeur et chanteur du groupe qui a conqueri la
planete, Men Without Hats, est encore une fois destine aux sommets des
palmaries avec son tout premier projet solo, The Spell.

A la fin d'etudes en musique electronique a l'Universite McGill, IVAN
fonde le group Men Without Hats qui s'impose d'abord dans l'underground
montrealais avant d'exploser sur la scene internationale avec des titres
tels que Safety Dance (top 10 dans 20 pays) et Pop Goes The World. Leur
immense succes amene son lot de disques d'or et de platine, de
nominations aux Grammy et Juno Awards et de ventes de disques; plus de
4,000,000 d'unites vendues dans le monde. Men Without Hats s'est affirme
comme une force dominante de la scene musicale mondiale des annees 80.

Alors que la musique electronique est une fois de plus identifee comme
etant "The next big thing", IVAN continue, avec The Spell, a evoluer
dans vet environment qui lui est si familier. L'album a ete realise par
le legendaire britannique John Punter dont la liste des realisations
inclut entre autres Roxy Music, Brian Ferry, Japan et Brian Eno. IVAN
nous parle de son experience avec Punter: "Pour moi, l'experience fut
fantastique. C'etait comme aller a l'ecole. C'etait extraordinaire de
travailler avec un maitre qui a realise le moitie de mes meilleurs
albums de tous les temps. John a un impressionant inventaire de sons et
beaucoup d'idees. Il a su elever mes chansons a un autre niveua".

IVAN a enregistre tout l'album lui-meme utilisant en meme temps la plus
nouvelle technologie et des synthetiseurs "calssiques". Seuls deux
choristes et un "rapper" accompagnent IVAN sur The Spell, un album qui
n'est pas pas a la remorque des tendances, il les impose.

"Venant de Montreal, j'ai toujours ete influence par le son Europeen ce
qui veut dire des melodies accrocheuses appuyees per d'omnipresents
"beats dance". C'est une musique exuberent et c'est me facon de
commencer le Grand Dance Party de cette fin de millenaire", avoue IVAN.
"Ce fut le siecle le plus rapide. Le Techno en est tres revelateur. Tout
est axe sue le mouvement. On peut faire tellement de nos jours avec une
souris, le plus recent logicel et de la pop irresistible".

Le premier extrait de l'album, Open Your Eyes, a ete lance en radio d'un
ocean a l'autre de tres belle facon, le 16 avril dernier lorsque des
stations telles CHUM-FM, ENERGY 108, CKOI, CKMF et MIX 96 l'ont ajoute a
leur programmation des sa reception. Le videoclip de Open Your Eyes sera
lance a la mi-mai.

The Spell disponible le 7 mai sur Disques Tox/Uforia, distribue par
Select.
