A step backwards? Mark 'n Tom are one of the few groups to go a-wandering through the electronic genres, and more power to them. They have an obvious love of house, as shown in last years top secret ingredients eps. Obviously not everyones going to love all their stuff, but I'm sure they put as much effort into the house tracks as any of their other stuff. Techno, ambient, electro, jungle, house, personally I'm waiting for their take on gabber, happy hardcore, and country & western. A New January <primal@interaccess.com> wrote:

Eon is still going, recently released Phase Test on Electron Industries in one of those nice clear-blue sleeves with diy label stickers. I think Baby Ford runs Ifach. The Shamen never really recovered from losing Will Sinn, although Mr C has a wicked club and label. Altern-8 disappeared from sight after losing an election (can anyone remember if it was a local, general, or by), although someone mentioned that one of them was still going under a different moniker. Eskimos in Egypt, no idea. Matt Cuttler <mcuttler@webspan.net> wrote:
