  About MECO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In 1977, MECO's version of the Title Theme and the Cantina Band Theme of Star Wars reached #1 in the pop lists all around the world, and got Platinum for sales over 2 million copies (something that at that time was only attained by 100 other singles in the last 50 years of Pop music).
Meco, who had already produced some of the early Disco hits by Carol Douglas and Gloria Gaynor, thought that producing disco versions of orchestral music from the movies were the perfect playground for this kind of sound.
Although Meco wanted to learn drums, his father made him to change his mind and at age nine he took up trombone, joining the high school band when he was only in the sixth grade.

 RFID Journal - Meco Uses Plating to Cut Antenna Cost
Meco designed the machine in collaboration with one of its existing customers that uses etching to produce antennas for smart cards.
Meco says that while etched antennas cost around 0.05 euros each to make, antennas produced using its system would cost less than 0.015 euros each (70 percent cheaper) to manufacture.
The Meco FAP system does not print the antenna seed layers, but that job, Meco says, could be carried out by a local print shop using a range of processes, including silk-screen, gravure, inkjet and flexo.

 Woodex Meco/Systems Mechanical Shaft Seals Home Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
MECO seal designs, which feature large-radius seal faces to tolerate unbelievable shaft runouts, have routinely been used to seal bent shafts, saving users hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs.
Much different from traditional mechanical seals, MECO seals are elastomer-driven: the only point of contact with the shaft is a rubber strip, permitting the seal's rotating elements to tolerate misalignments unheard of with packing or traditional mechanical seals.
MECO's concern for attention to each customer's unique sealing requirements has led a number of equipment manufacturers to select MECO as their factory-standard seal.

 Mos SkyJammer: Review of MECO's "Dance Your Asteroid's Off"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This is another MECO song I had never heard until this CD, so I can't compare it with the original.
It's hard to envision this song without the Sandskrit singing chorus, but here it is. MECO tries to capture the ending Jedi duel's intensity, but for me, the chorus is what made the piece intense in the first place.
But sure to also pick up "Best of MECO" for versions of some songs that, while perhaps edited in their own right, are more "pure" and capture MECO's spirit from twenty years ago.
