(Aerosmith, Clarks, Valerie Ghent, Jungle/Drum N Bass)

THE READERS WRITE BACK!

> Great review on the Aersomith cd; I am now convinced it will be the next cd that I buy! - Donald D., Alabama

> I must agree with the review of Aerosmith's latest album, Nine Lives. It is by far the best work this group has release in years! If you are into rock n' roll Aerosmith style and you don't already own Nine Lives go out and get it. You won't be disappointed! - H.P., Canada

> (About the review of the Clarks Someday Maybe)

Thanks for taking the time to review the guys album. It was great to see some homeboys 'make good'. These guys work as hard as any band I've worked with.

You picked up on some interesting items in the review. The entire album for Someday Maybe was originally funded by the Clarks for King Mouse Records - and then picked up pretty much 'as is' by Way Cool and MCA. Most major label releases have a budget at least three to four times that (of the King Mouse release), and it's still pretty cheap. The recording sessions for Someday Maybe yielded 15 songs; 13 appeared on the original version, and 14 on the Way Cool/MCA version.

Also, I appreciate your mentioning my name in the review, but it's spelled 'Bomba', not 'Bamba'. - Tim Bomba, producer, Clarks.

> Is Valerie Ghent the same person who was in the exceptional 80's pop band Dizzy & the Romilars? Just curious. - F.

(Ed. note: Yes, it's the same person)

> FYI, there is a difference between jungle & drum n bass- the former is a much "ruffer" sound, a bit darker and more dancey than the latter which is more laid back & "intelligent". - Ian F., Uxbridge, UK
