     Speaking of Games, the RPG called "Fallout" is a pleasure for anyone 
who adores Aphex Twin's SAW II .. Its a post nuclear mad-max type game 
(with no cars - NOTHING works) where you walk around nuclear California 
150 years from now.  The artwork is *amazing*, but the music, especially 
the map-screen where you travel from city-to-city has one particular 
track which is a DIRECT reinterpretation (rip-off??) of a SAWII track 
(not sure which- my SAWII is on loan).  I never thought of SAWII as game 
music but Fallout pulls it off flawlessly.

     If you like RPG-games, and AFX ambient stuff, RUN, dont walk to get 
Fallout- its the (nuclear) BOMB!!
