Welcoum a new individual! 
 E was a member ov ALamut just before it closed down and has soum 
difficulty finding a place that carried thee net after ALamut's 
demise.  Somebody _must_ know what happened to Max, let's have soum 
answers, eh? When E was last on TOPYnet, E talked with an individual 
known as Orpheus 23.  If you're around, give E a signal.  We were 
going to Xchange soum ritual musick when we last talked.  Let E jump 
right in and have a say to a few people: 
 Cerorach:  Most available PTV right now is thee remenants ov PTV's 
           acid house releases (eg. "Towards Thee Infinite Beat," 
           "Beyond Thee Infinite Beat," "Ultrahouse," "Jack Thee 
           Tab", etcetera) still being put out by Wax Trax.  Shortly 
           after that, PTV apparently split up (although there seem 
           to be close to a thousand conflicting stories froum Gen 
           and TOPI on _when_ they split up).  Then PTV released an 
           EP called "Painkiller" via Telepathic Records (PTV being 
           Fred Gianelli) and Fred did a few projects on thee side 
           as well for trance labels like Plus 8.  Now PTV have 
           released a new CD called "Peak Hour".  I'm told PTV is 
           now Gen and Fred back together and Paula is nowhere to be 
           seen.  If you're interested in old PTV, you'll have to 
           either find stuff in used bins or through collectors, but 
           that's soumtimes more difficult that it sounds depending 
           on whether you live in a big city or not.  Soum people 
           like to divide their musick into three categories: 
              1982-1985 - Mostly TOPY or ritual musick, draws froum TG 
              1985-1988 - Pop song phase 
              1988-> on - Acid house 
           Whoever asked how many albums they've put out, thee number 
           ov LP's alone runs around 38, although if eou'd like a more 
           accurate listing, E can provide it four eou.  If you're 
           interested in checking out thee musick ov PTV, make _sure_ 
           eou check out Thee Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia.  E believe  
           they currently represent TOPY far better than PTV does. 
 Walter Five: As for "Force Thee Hand ov Chance", well thee first 5000 
             copies came with "Themes 1" and a poster.  "Dreams Less 
             Sweet" included a free untitled EP with it's first 5000 
             pressings.  "Themes 2" and "Themes 3" were released 
             through Temple Records later on. 
              Thee busts surrounding TOPY were not related to thee 
             album, "Towards Thee Infinite Beat".  As E understood it, 
             thee busts were more related to thee old TOPY video 
             "Ritual Cuttings" made by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson 
             which is no longer released by TOPY as it does not feel 
             thee video represents TOPY adequately.  Sleazy left TOPY 
             in 1983 to form Coil.  If anybody has any information on 
             thee busts at all, would they please enlighten us as 
             E've heard many rumours butter no definitive answers. 
 Dr. Strangelove: Eou talked about owning soum CCT's.  How are eou 
                 associated with TOPY?
