This is what I've heard, if anyone wants to correct me or bring up new evidence please do: Reaching out into other worlds I have eyes, ears and a voice Listen Here's a special news bulletin Cleanly Fresh! Do you wish to leave a record of your call? Tarzan-esque yell Record of your call May I have your attention please? Zero, and folding (I used to think it was holding, but I've listened to it more) -Tim- Back to top

Here's what the Amarok Player tracklist for TMB says about that bit. 09:02:08:63 Radio tuning: 09:02:10:20 Reaching out into other worlds 09:02:13:20 I have eyes, ears and a voice 09:02:16:30 Listen 09:02:17:20 Here's a special news bulletin 09:02:20:50 [Some sort of advert ??] -- This is the "Cleanly Fresh!" you heard. IMHO it's correct. 09:02:23:10 Do you wish to leave a record of your call? 09:02:25:70 Tarzan 09:02:30:10 ...record of your call? 09:02:31:65 May I have your attention please? 09:02:35:30 Zero, and folding... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Throws some light onto the snippets in Liberation (But why Cleanly Fresh? Was it the first radio ad or something? Or one that happened to be on when Mike was making the Millenniun Bell?) All I know about "Under Milk Wood" by Dylan Thomas (the book) is that it is home to the place known as Llareggub. (My store of useless information is still full). Terry Pratchett then played off this idea in his book "Soul Music" where one of the places mentioned (sort of like Wales) was called Llamedos. Completely Mike-unrelated (Pratchett had no allusions to anything Tubular in his book), but I just had to share that with you. -Tim- Back to top
