Im sorry all, what started out as a genuine offer to help the rest of the listmembers to be able to listen to these beautiful, yet UNAVAILABLE albums. I apologize for starting this thread and now I am made to look like someone evil. Shit. Before I go into any of this burning I am going to check with my lawyer. Its a damn shame that with all the freedom in this country, I might not be able to do something which CLEARLY isnt harming anyone: 1. Jimmy Cauty doesn't make Jack Shit of off Space. It isn't around anymore. 2. Tetsu Inoue doesnt make Jack Shit of of Ambiant Otaku. It isn't around anymore. Sadly, those who might have been turned on to the KLF or Tetsu, or FAX will not even get to hear them. I too am a musician, (although more of a hobbyist musician) and I know damn well how hard it is to get noticed, appreciated, or make money in the business. I would NEVER ever subvert a musician, or anyone for that matter, out of their just rewards..... I can hear all the legal mumbo jumbo bullshit in the world, and it means nothing to me because ethically I hold myself to something much higher than laws. But sadly, I have to follow them even when they DON'T make sense. Enough said. I won't speak about this anymmore. To those who expressed interest in the CDs I still have your addresses. Lets hope something can (legally) be worked out. A. Mukerjee Vassar College "Laws are like cobwebs; where the small flies get caught but the big break ones through." - Unknown
