Queue Line CD...

Every song on The Complex is good. If you don't think so, you suck. "Up To The Roof" is my favorite, followed closely by the "I Feel Love" cover (which also led me to love Venus Hum). Check out The Complex live DVD. That shows what Blue Man is all about.

I've seen The Complex DVD, and it was interesting, probably fun to see live, but I saw them in Chicago and it was a totally different show. Not as music oriented (although still had a lot of sweet beats, "Drumbone", "Time to Start", etc. "Your Attention" was a lot more... epic), but more oriented around comedy-ish. It was like the Blue Men were aliens experiencing humans for the first time, and never talked, used gestures instead... funny stuff. The finale was amazing too, it was a huge party with paper stuff everywhere and LOUD music... ahh memories :)

Listening to just the CD, I'd agree "I Feel Love" is awesome, but I like "Time to Start" the best.

Last I knew CP still forced DJs to use MiniDisc. Regardless of how cool I think the MD format is it doesn't make much sense to me. Since digital audio players are used in the stations for announcements and such I don't see any reason why they don't go digital for the DJs other than "hey, we have all this MD equipment we bought at a fire sale in 1998... let's use it!"

As for The Comlex... excellent, excellent stuff. I was led to the album by I Feel Love, which I heard on Adam Curry's Daily Source Code (Go ahead and laugh) when I used to listen to it.

The music/CDs we are referring to is the so-called "autoDJ" discs that play when the DJ is on break or not on duty.

The MiniDiscs for the DJs at the time served a dual purpose, first they were easier to deal with than CDs at the time they were installed. The Discs were easy to label/title etc. The second reason is they established a level of control on what was being played back to make sure it was "officially" approved and covered by the parks ASCAP/BMI agreement.

There was some talk about switching to other digital media, I'm not certain if they have converted yet or not though. *** Edited 8/21/2005 9:43:34 PM UTC by LiveEJon***

LiveEJon, do you happen to have the order of the songs on the CD? I'm trying to compile my own version of it, but I dont' have all the songs, or the order that they're in. This is what I have so far:

1) The Beatles - I wanna hold your hand
2) Blue Man Group - Time to Start
3) DJ Sammy - The Boys of Summer
4) 4 Strings - Diving
5) Laava - Wherever you are
6) Lynard Skinard - Sweet Home Alabama
7) Roxette - Stars
8) Britanny Spears - Lucky
9) Hoku - Perfect Day
10) Tatu - All the things you said
11) Daniel Bedingfield - If you're not the one
12) Divine Inspiration - The way

What are the other songs on the CD?

For you Guys and Gals who love Euro music...FYI: Almighty are some of the BEST remixers in the UK (and still going). I am an avid fan of Eurodance/Pop Dance/Trance and have pretty much everything and anything Almighty has done,..up to present 'ABBACADABRA'. Their work in remixing Roxette's 'Stars' is uterly amazing. That is FANtastic that the park chose 'Stars' as one of their lineup for MF queue. Stars has some of THE BEST synth sounds EVER! You may also want to check out 'Dj Encore' (he is another amazing Pop/Dance producer)

I heard this wicked weird song while waiting in line for MF on August the 5th. It was almost trance/techno like, but the two girls who were singing it sang it like an opera. Anyone know what song this is?

That would be...

Opera Trance- Spente Le Stelle

Hey Josh, Don't forget Celine Dions' "I drive all night" song and maybe it's just that I'm too stupid to know their actual titles but don't forget that techno version of "every step you take" (before Lucky) and some song that starts out as "let the sunshine" other than that, see if you can come up with more songs and put them in the right order, I would certainly love a copy. : )

Thanks, Jaffel. Are you coming back next year?
