We actually released it but I can only agree with what Vital says. It wouldn't be ethical to start describing how wonderfull it is. I'll guess you'll have to wait till the Us promo's arrived at those people who want to share his/her ideas about it. I'm not sure who's doing the Us distribution from it but I think Forced Exposure is interested, but not confirmed yet... Other (K-RAA-K)³ releases can be obtained through Revolver and/or Darla. Janek Schaefer is somebody to be witnessed live... I saw him perform alongside Philip Jeck and it was one of those memorable events. Janek with his Triponic and Philip with all his little seventies turntables connected with Casio, echopedals etc... Creating wonderfull loops holding it together with a skill which showed lots of practise. Very intense and with enough humour to put a smile on all these serious folks who do attend this kind of events. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: david turgeon <eerie@mnemonic.net> Aan: idm@hyperreal.org <idm@hyperreal.org> Datum: vrijdag 10 december 1999 6:16 Onderwerp: (idm) janek schaeffer "out"
