Yeah! Someone else likes Plug Research as much as I do - maybe..? I've
been collecting their 12"s for almost a year now. If you like the CD
(their 1st I think ) you'll like any of the 12"s they put out. Their
back catalog is totally gone (according to Allen @ Plug Research) but
you can still find some of them in the stores, or through mail order
like Drop Beat/ Modern Music.
As far as the identites behind the acts go I only know Mr Hazeltine is
John Tejada ( aka Lucid Dream, Palette ) and Flare is Ken Ishi ( Flare
doesn't have track on CD but appears on at least one 12" ).
The label is local to LA - the valley actually. In fact, this Friday,
Sept. 19th at LACE on 7522 Hollywood Blvd/ 10pm-2am /$10, Public Space
is having a show:
John Tejada(live)
Low Res(live)-PR act
Allen and Joe ( Plug Research DJs )
It should be great!! Anyone in Southern CA should attend.
Accoding to Allen, upcoming Plug Research releases to look for are:
Mr Hazeltine 12" - 2 wks
Vinyl version of PR Compilation w/ 4 new tracks - 3 wks.
Chris
np - Switch Records 1992-1997:the singles. This is killer too!!
