Songs From The Gypsy
The Gypsy is a novel by Steven Brust and Megan Lindholm, a cycle of songs by Brust and Adam Stemple, and now, an album by Boiled In Lead.
Songs From The Gypsy features nine Stemple-Brust originals (inspiration for the novel) and a traditional Hungarian Gypsy tune. The music ranges from direct one-take acoustic performances to tube-driven distortion-laden rockers, from ethnic dances to gutty blues.
This an i-trax (TM) CD. It includes multimedia content that is playable on older Windows and Macintosh computers. On the CD-ROM, you get the entire text of the novel, soundbites from the songs quoted in the text, and some surprises...click away.
(Tech Note: It's quite difficult to make the e-book work properly on computers that are newer than Windows95 or Mac OS9. The data is stored on "track zero" and has been superseded by the "enhanced CD" standard. Caveat computor. If you really want to have a look, send us an email.)
