T-numbers inserted by Karl ErikDate: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 18:02:01 -0500 From: xyx Subject: DEEP BENEATH THE WAVES-1995 YEAR IN REVIEW For quality and quantity, the year of 19Dylan95 will be tough to beat here DEEP BENEATH THE WAVES. We can only hope that 1996 will bring us as many varied treasures. If the unofficial 1st release of 1996 ("Guitars Kissing & The Contemporary Fix") is any indication, this will be another year for the ages. Before we get too far into the new year, however, one look back on the past year is certainly warranted. If you're searching for a gem amongst all the fiberglass, there are many fine jewels to choose from. Here in THE DEEP, I feel these are the ones that truly shone in 1995 (the best of the best).

There were many other fine ones in 1995 but I feel the above were the best of the best. Thanks for listening and here's to another great year beneath the waves. Peace - xyx
