Reflective as a label is quite defunct. They closed shop 1-1.5 years ago if not longer. Perhaps they are still selling some old stock out of their closets though I doubt there is any left given the rarity of their material. SpaceTime Continuum: Astralwerks, et al Single Cell Orchestra: recent 12" on Oxygen Works, et al Velocette: recently started his own label, Parallel Recordings and has 2 *very cool* 12" 4 song EPs out ...his own material. Other Reflective "family" artists I'm sure are doing stuff of course: Moufang, Namlook, Vulva, etc are all busy. What happened to Me-Sheen?

Is Reflective material that rare? I still see it around quite a bit. I know the first Spacetime Ep is impossible to find of course. How many copies were pressed of the Reflective releases?

I think the cds are more commonly found in the stores still. I have seen the Subtropic "Homebrew" release on vinyl at a local store which wasn't used. I thought that thing would be gone by now! --Bill William O'Brien wobrien@edisto.cofc.edu (or) obrienw@juno.com Altered state: http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/studio/3031/ "May the funk be with you" On Thu, 16 Oct 1997 lautreamont@cheerful.com wrote:

Don't forget REF CD 5: Kid Spatula, Spatula Freak. If I hadn't heard it from various places, I never would have guessed that this is Mike P. ----------------------------------------------- ,,,,,, "Time flies like an arrow, -o-o- Fruit flies like a banana" l - -Groucho Marx anagram@cwnet.com k e l s e y http://home.cwnet.com/anagram
