Yeah you're probably right about that. What I was trying to say though
was that "Soundclash" was an album in itself, which featured definite *songs*.
"In Dub" on the other hand, is mainly an album's-worth of tracks which have
mainly been derived from the tracks on "Soundclash".
Ok, it's *not* a remix album so much as it is a companion to "Soundclash".
Can I call it a `dub' album instead? Hey, they did. ;}

I wonder about that... was Karl Bonnie the *real* talent of RSW? Or was
he just one in three that made a good mixture? Regardless, without him RSW is
now sub-par.

Actually no. There was Karl Bonnie, Gary Asquith, Danny Briotett, a
famous dj (I want to say Derrick May?), and that dancer from the "Biting My
Nails" video. That's it. Actually, that's probably also why they weren't any
good - it sounds like you had the full line-up.

Actually, no. They were the only band playing. It was a `tour'
showcasing MUTE USA, with them as the performing label-artist. I have no idea
why they played a +/- twenty minute set? I have heard they did the same at
other shows in other towns during the same tour though.

You are a lucky bastard. It seems that we here in the States got the
short end of the stick when it comes to seeing RSW live. That was probably the
only time they will ever come to the US too..

Nah... i just happened to be clearing out one of my old `sent-mail'
folders when you posted about RSW.
Talk to you soon.
