Those in the UK should be able to get _DreamWatch_ in their local WH Smiffs. (IIRC it's available in specialist shops in the US, Australia, etc.) I'll let you all know when the issue is out (I've got until the end of the month to write the review, so it'll be a few weeks yet). For the moment, though, the Web URL is www.dreamwatch.co.uk >> PS. In case anyone thinks I'm the luckiest blighter in the world, getting >> free tapes, I should point out that these promo tapes are time-coded. >Still, you're a lucky blighter! :-) Indeed. And, in answer to Maz's question, the time-coding means there's a whacking great digital clock running on-screen throughout (on most tapes it's about one third the way down the screen), along (often) with occasional on-screen warnings (which usually render that scene *completely* unwatchable) that you're watching a promo video, and that if you've paid money for it, you should contact FACT, etc., etc. Oh, and Howell's asked me to let the list see a sneak preview of the review, which I'll certainly do, if anyone's interested.
