My my, what a lot of controversy there is about Warp. Just to add fuel
to the fire, let me throw in some news about the label's next releases.
Two albums are due in the new year, one by Kenny Larkin, the other by
Richard Kirk (ex-Cab.Volt., ex-Sweet Exorcist, aka Sandoz). They have
just got to the test pressing stage. I believe they will precede AI2.
A 12" called "Megadrive" by Circle City is also due out soon. This is
very much in the style of "Resoraz" by Art of Time, and was originally
on a white label out of Leeds (about two months ago). I'm told that
the Warp version hasn't reached test pressing yet, although it was
originally slated to appear in the shops yesterday (6th Dec).
Beaumont Hannant - "Basic Data Manipulation" (on GPR) did finally come
out yesterday, several months after the promised date. It is quite
experimental: not particularly dance-floor material I'd say. If
anyone writes a full review (favorable or not!), I'll be happy to pass
on a copy to Beau.
