October 31. CHRISTOPHER FRANKE'S BABYLON 5 MUSIC.

Christopher Franke's Babylon 5 soundtracks have been a tremendous success, so much so that fans of his and fans of the series have been demanding soundtracks for specific episodes. While Volumes 1 & 2 are full length CD's, with extracts from various shows comprising new compositions, each of these episodic CD's contains music from a single show in its entire length. Cues play chronologically as aired with an average total time of 30 minutes. Those episodes currently available are Severed Dreams, A Late Delivery from Avalon, Walkabout, Shadow Dancing and Z'Ha'Dum.

Moron at DETERRENT INDUSTRIES has automated the EEI DJ List and EEIG Zine List as a searchable database accessable on the web. The only downside is that all information must be resubmitted to the new form in order to build the database back up. If you are a DJ who spins electronic experimental music, especially industrial, ambient, noise, goth, unchatagorizable, or experimental techno, you may submit info on your show even if you were already on the list. You can reach both these resources and more through Deterrent Industries home page at:
