Yeah,
I can't keep up at all. That's ok though, cuz I feel that the only reason to keep up
with FAX releases is so you can save money. Once their like a year old the price
goes up. However, if you buy a '93 FAX release or a '97 release chances are they
will still soothe your apetite whereas some other electronica _MAY_ sound
date. It's in the ears of the beholder. I always scan the CD wanted lists on
peoples web pages or do trades with folks. I recently got me Dark Side of the
Moog #1 and #2 for a few Bjork CD singles from another list member. I'd say it
was a cool trade if you ask me!!!!
Speaking about keeping up with FAX releases, I think DAve at Ear/rational
has a system where you can be a FAX subscriber. I could be wrong about this, but
basically if you're signed up you get a copy of every new release when it comes
out (like a magazine). It's cool for the HARDCORE collectors. However, I don't
think it'd fit everyones pocketbook. I mean can immagine getting Oskar Salas-
Subharmonic (something) and then following that with the housey P.N. &
Hebert Held release? One's like old old school BACH music err sumpin and the
other is like Mtv dance music comps (ok ok, that's an insult to FAX, I take it
back) Anyway, my point is you could subscribe if you want every release. He sells
them cheap too. If you subscribe I think each release is only like $13. Not bad,
but risky
