During MBM's tour with 808state about 2 years ago, MBM played a cover of
a DHS track that was not on either of DHS's LPS...it was called "BAD ACID #9"
When Jack Dangers was asked what song was that after the show..he
commented that it was a song that they reciently remixed for them after
they remixed mindstream. Supposedly DHS was using that to shop around
for a new label. Last on HANGMAN.
I have both HOUSE OF GOD and latest.
EHH.
