Wow. Apparantly the Tower Records chain in association with Distance Records
has licensed a good part of the R+S catalog for US distribution. Jaws
dropped as I saw copies of Aphex Twin - Classics, Joey Beltram - Classics,
SAW 85-92, Speed Jack - Surge, Kenny Larkin - Metaphor, and others at
$14.99. The last two installments of In Order To Dance listed at $18.99.
Distance also licensed the hard-to-fine Art of Dance : Exhibits
compilation; it's on sale for [!] 10.99. Tower/Distance is advertising over
250 licensed titles from European labels at it's stores this summer. One of
the few bright spots of the whole US invasion of UK electronica.
The Microstudio 12" on Carpet Bomb is the most amazing EP to cross my
record players in a very long time. What's the low down on these people?
I'm discovering great US labels on a weekly basis it seems.
If anyone wants a copy of Kelli Hand's _Ready For Darkness_ on CD or
Herbert's _Part 5_ on vinyl, let me know. I've got spares to spare. Got
some other items up for grabs; if you want a list, shout.
Respect to Gonzi for the beginning of what seems to be a very promising
Rephlex Resource page.
