Slightly related, but I remeber seeing a french horn player on the videoscreens at the Orb's "Deep Rave 97" show in Chicago as their intro. They distorted it quite heavily, making it spin around while the man was holding it to his mouth, overtop the box logo on the Orbvs Terrarvm release. Maybe LX has a personal fondness for the french horn...

Petrol is now approaching £0.90 per litre. That's £4.10 a gallon. For every £50 fill-up, you're just giving the government £37 out of your own pocket. Fact For the average family, a 1p increase per litre in the cost of fuel means an extra £46 a year out of their pocket. Fact Fuel duty has little to do with the environment. Leaded petrol was supposedly taxed highly for environmental reasons. Why then, when it was replaced with LRP did the price not come down? Diesel fuel, although potentially renewable by using vegetable oils, is no longer substantially cheaper than leaded petrol. So although it's technically cleaner (low sulpher etc), and potentially a renewable resource, it's taxed at near enough the same rate. LPG is the cleanest fuel there is but the government aren't actively trying to get you to convert. Fact £36billion is sucked out of motorist's pockets each year in tax. You buy the planet's most expensive petrol, but do you see that money going back into the roads? No you do not. A recent study pointed out that most of Britain's roads are up to 15 years beyond their structural refurbishment date. More to the point, your council tax and new car tax is supposed to pay for this, not the petrol duty! Fact Gordon Brown taxes the motorist more despite what he says. According to the Association of British Drivers, in the last budget speech, Gordon Brown stated that fuel duty and pensions would rise in line with inflation, seeking credit for an end to the fuel duty escalator which had previously put petrol prices up above the inflation rate each year. Yet it has emerged that the figure he used for pensions was 1.1%, while 3.3% was used to raise the price of fuel. In effect, Boycott The Pumps suspect that the reason the fuel duty escalator was abolished was because it was placing an upper limit on the tax increase available on fuel duty. By scrapping the escalator, Gordon Brown removed this upper limit and was free to increase tax by as much as he saw fit. Fact Freight companies are suffering - so is our trade with the EU. When a haulage company has to fill it's tanks with diesel taxed at such a ridiculous rate, it's running costs become so expensive that companies take their business to haulage firms based on the continent. That in turn means a loss of income for our country. Fact Public transport is not an option. Buses and coaches become more expensive again because of the underlying cost of running them. The privatised rail and bus companies continue to slash services and close branch routes because running them is not "cost effective." i.e. the shareholders aren't getting their dividends. And the government are doing nothing about it. Rail companies have been underperforming and missing targets as stipulated by their contracts ever since privatisation. Yet they're all still in business. And again, your council tax should be paying for public transport. The petrol tax goes straight to the government instead of to local councils where it could be used to make some difference. Would you pay this much tax on anything else you buy and not complain? If other consumer products were taxed at 340%: *2 pints of milk would cost £2.14 *a loaf of bread would cost £1.58 *a first class stamp would cost £1.13 *a cinema ticket would cost £21.94 *an no-frills evening out with dinner for two could cost £175.58 *a pack of batteries would cost £21.89 *a personal CD player would cost £566.26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So Act! There is no major organisation that represents the British driver when it comes to matters of fuel duty. The government are bleeding motorists dry. Why? Because they can. As long as public apathy continues, and we keep paying ludicrous prices for our petrol, the government will keep laying on the tax. Tuesday, August 1st 2000, BOYCOTT THE FORECOURT PUMPS. THEN FROM MONDAY AUGUST 7th, ONCE A WEEK - EVERY MONDAY UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT ACTS AND CUTS THE TAX. Don't buy any petrol or diesel. Spread the word and force the government to listen. For once, let's stand up with a unified voice and make them understand that we will no longer be quietly steamrollered into a transport system that's crumbling under our feet whilst we pay for it through the nose. Tell them you have had enough of Rip-Off Britain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you're now thinking "Ooh that sounds a bit too much like hard work........" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ....then you have no cause to complain when petrol reaches £1.00 a litre, or £4.56 a gallon by Christmas 2000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write to your MP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you work in a petrol station and support us: I suggest you start printing on the receipts how much your punters just paid in tax.

Here is something from chris cunningham's website which seems to confirm most of the rumors.. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------ +Neuromancer : Entertainment Weekly #506 : 'E.W. Internet #14' special insert : ...In fact, the deal was closed when the director pulled out storyboards that he'd drawn when he was just 16. "Neuromancer made the kind of fantasy world I have in my head a lot clearer," he admits. Yet the London-based Cunningham is fed up with the way computer graphics have taken over the movies and aspires to make Neuromancer as cerebral as Kubrick's sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. He's aware of the risks. "If 2001came out today, would it be a complete flop, or would people be gasping at the intelligence of it?" Luckily, Gibson also wants Neuromancer to be an intelligent, human film rather than just another sci-fi blockbuster. Now that Cunningham is attached, most of the original script will be rewritten to combine the dual artists' visual aesthetics. As such, Neuromancer the movie, which has been optioned by producer Peter Hoffman but does not have studio backing, is still years away. Then again, when the book was first published in 1984, cyberspace seemed a long way off too. Cunningham and William Gibson are probably finished on the script to this film, which he will also direct, based on the Gibson novel Neuromancer. From the article in RES, Cunningham says, "The problem with that book is that it's been picked clean over the last ten years ... but I still think there's a brilliant film in there. . . I certainly don't want it to be my first film. It would kill me." Gibson speaks of Cunningham: "The guy's a genius. He's the man for the job - Neuromancer was his Wind of the Williows." "I hate all that virtual reality stuff. It's just so unbelievably boring. It's not gonna be a film about that, I just don't think that stuff is even relevant..." So will it be more character-based? "Totally, yeah - it's like a really bizarre, trippy thriller. To turn it into a film, the first thing you would have to do is bin all that VR bollocks. To me that would be like making a film about a phone or a car, which in ten years time will be as much in the background." (Flux, #14) Neuromancer has no set release date by Seven Arts Pictures. According to NME, Aphex Twin will script the soundtrack. For more information, visit Coming Attractions. There is also an official Neuromancer movie web-site with information about Cunningham, Gibson, and others involved with the film. UPDATE: The site is currently absent.
