Hello, all. My name is Paul, and I'm rejoining the list now after having been
gone for a year. I caught your comments about AMP, and after having checked
out four episodes, I can say that my initial ecstatic reaction has mellowed a
bit. I think it's great that my favorite types of music are getting play
anywhere, let alone thru mass exposure like MTV. I'm not too worried about
the genre getting watered down, because the good stuff will stand up. The
program seems to need a little work, especially when they throw in a 12 year
old video from the Art Of Noise. Don't get me wrong, the AON were absolutely
brilliant, but it seemed out of context with the rest of the material. Maybe
I'm splitting fine hairs, but that's the way it seemed at the time.
Anyway, it's still a new show, and I hope it will pave the way for true
success in the U.S.

Take Care-----Paul---
