- I'll bet you were surprised to see how many cool Amiga CD's that
- Fred Fish is distributing these days: FreshFish, FrozenFish, GoldFish,
- OldFish, PrehistoricFish, ShavedFish, etc. etc. Well, I have some AMAZING
- NEWS about Fred's most recent, upcoming CD that will make Amiga history!!
- Thanks to BLAZEMONGER INCORPORATED's "Industrial Espionage" Department, the
- following top-secret, INSIDER INFORMATION can now be revealed. (Sorry,
- Fred, but this is just TOO exciting to keep secret!!)
-
- Presenting...
-
- *************************
- * Fish Styx! *
- *************************
-
- What is "Fish Styx?" Here's the story. It's a little known fact
- that Fred Fish has an excellent singing voice. He has one of the finest
- bass voices around and has quite a reputation in the highly selective
- "computer jingle" industry. A loyal Amigan even in song, Fred was recently
- approached by IBM to do a commercial for their latest Pentium-based machine,
- and he turned them down on principle. Way to go, Fred!
-
- Anyway, Fred's fans have finally persuaded him to release his first
- full-length audio CD, "Fish Styx!" It features these soon-to-be NUMBER ONE
- HITS:
-
- "Oooh, Baby I Love Your Toaster" (with Kiki Stockhammer)
-
- Thrill to Fred and Kiki's soulful rendition of this classic
- ballad about love and multimedia.
-
- "What's The Frequency, Irving?"
-
- Alternative music at its best!! This song reveals, for the
- first time ever, just how many CD32's REALLY were produced
- per week at Commodore's Phillippines plant.
-
- "Can You Feel The Load Tonight?"
-
- A beautiful, sensitive ballad about network slowdown on
- IRC. From the soundtrack of the little-known Disney movie,
- THE LINELINK KING.
-
- "Free Ware"
-
- A southern-rockin' love song about the lonely life of
- a public domain software author:
-
- "If I code this tomorrow...
- Will you still remember me?
- For I must be hacking on, now...
- 'Cause there's too many addresses I've got to see..."
-
- This red-hot rocker features a 10-minute-long, scorching
- guitar solo played by the famous Dave Haynie!!
- (Ex-Commodore engineer, now CEO of Columbia Records.)
-
- "Born To Run"
-
- A complex, yet tender, high-energy tune about how Commodore
- moved the "Run" command out of the C: directory and into the
- Shell.
-
- "For Those About To Hack, We Salute You"
-
- Hear Fred rock out on this heavy-metal headbanger in honor
- of demo coders everywhere.
-
- "Ooooh, I Heard It From the Grapevine"
-
- A soulful testament to the problems of buying Amiga hardware
- by mailorder. The lyrics consist entirely of excuses like,
- "it's on backorder," "we shipped it yesterday," and
- "at the sound of the beep, please leave a message, and a
- representative will return your call."
-
- "Eleanor Mehdi"
-
- A 1960's style song with a haunting cello accompaniment.
- The lyrics say it all:
-
- "Eleanor Mehdi
- Picks up her check at the desk where the factory has
- been...
- Lives in a dream.
- Look at her working,
- Making commercials and adverts that no one will see,
- Till bankruptcy.
- All the lonely people, too few Amiga hacks.
- All the lonely people, why do they all buy Macs?"
-
- Similar to the recent Meeting Pearls and Aminet Share CD's, "Fish
- Styx" will be distributed as shareware. If you enjoy the music, you are
- obligated to make a contribution to Fred, either in cash or by singing your
- favorite song to him over the phone.
-
- "Fish Styx" is available from Amiga dealers and Sam Goody, and is
- available on CD, data cassette, and in MOD format. Check it out, fin fans!
