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? I can dig up a discography somewhere if I remember np: Process comp ( Caiprinha ) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ bpm0@interport.net, Peter Becker - North American Distribution, Retail marketing, DJ Pool, Demo tape filter Asphodel : PO Box 51, Chelsea Station, NY NY 10113 p: (212) 604-9362 , f: (212) 604-0783 , http://www.asphodel.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Word! Just got his latest EP in the mail a couple of days back and it is fiiiiiine! Mini-review will be appearing as a part of the playlist from my show this week, up on the website soonish... Greg http://www.interlog.com/~stained/feedback

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:
