I totally agree with Joe and Simon about the Rei Harakami
12" on Sublime. It's an essential release as are most of
the Sublime releases.

I'm the proud owner of all four Likemind 12"s but it took
several years to find them. As for how many were pressed,
i don't know the exact number but i do know that whatever
the number was it wasn't enough.

You can't go wrong with early Stasis or B12 label material.
B12 is another label that needs to release their 12"s in
greater numbers and repress their entire back catalog.

I really enjoy the recent IVM CD but i still believe that Insync
has yet to do a track better than his Irdial track called The Storm.
BTW: Are the Tenth Planet 12"s still in print? I'd love to get
ahld of all of them.
