Novaspace's Beds Are Burning EP and "Possible Matches"
Put in my Novaspace Beds Are Burning EP (promo copy - NOT FOR RESALE!) warning label all over it and as my RealOne Player (tm) booted it up, as it always does, it tried to look for the information on the disc
which has always interested me - how the computer can call up what a product is - is there some informational code imbedded in the disc?
but this is further compounded by the fact that RealOne Player called up a dialog box that said
CDINFO - could not find an exact match . . . and then it gave me a list of "possible matches" from which to select, which were:
Joe Cocker - Could You Be Loved
Chocolate Fashion - Chocolate Fashion 1
Def Con Dos - Basta de Nacimientos
Pop Will Eat Itself - I've Always Been a Coward
Well, I just think this is absolutely amazing! Not only because my computer was trying to find a match for the disc that it had in the drive, but also because it could access such disparate information. Mira, what would the computer have to look at? The only think I could think of is that it saw that there were 3 audio tracks, of roughly 3.5 min, 5.5 min and almost 6 mins, plus a 4th video track. Did the computer take THAT knowledge, then somehow compare that against the physical construction as listed on similar musical items on the Internet, to then present me with those four choices? Do those other four discs ALL have 3 music tracks of exactly (or almost exactly) the same time limits, plus a 4th video track?
Amazing.
And what's more amazing, would I LIKE those discs should I track them down and listen to them? I daresay I probably would, knowing how I am usually interested in just about anything I read or hear. I think maybe I should track down those items.
As for what I actually WAS listening to, I feel that I might as well state (for anyone who might be interested in the disc) that I found it quite strange that any band would be able to take a song of great socio-political import of the 1980's such as the degenerate conditions that most Australian Abnorigines were subjected to for hundreds of years by European settlers . . . and be able to turn it into a dance tune.
That was quite surprising to me. Especially the video, which featured some blonde woman (or multiple versions of her) dancing around in a cube (or series of cubes) . . . it was all quite strange.
Incongruous, I might say.
Don't really know what the point is . . . either of the disc or of this post.
Oh well, más después, I suppose!
