Of course that there are many many more great releases that I missed
up there, but hey I was working to compile this lists for more than
a hour :-) ... I still didn't hear new freeform (while I am on
headphone label, can someone tell me what is their first release ?
and I suppose it was written by one of HIA guys, not ?), paap/paradinas
collab.album, lexaunculpt ep on isophlux (is it available on CD?), bola,
jake mandell on W.I., moodyman on peacefrog, lithium project, new daniel
ibbotson (while I am on Glasgow Sounds, their first release is Powder
Productions: Pipe Dream, isn't it ? more info very appreciated...), gescom
that, pole, herbert, consumed, plus many many more that I cannot think of at
the moment and that makes me so depressed :-(((
Also new John Tejada album, did anyone hear this one ? It's released
on A13... cat.no??? Is it anything similar like last years gem, 12 volts
of Soft Spread on Parallel ? I'm really looking forward to more Tejada
stuff... what about Mr.Hazeltine album on Plug Research ? Oh,oh no, I missed
also both Danny's albums, Low Res (on Plug Research) and Crank (on
Phthalo)... I'll go mad :-)
I'll stop here coz I might remember few more great releases that
I missed in 98 and and and .. .. .....
...bought Classic Fingers 2CD (Black Market) finnaly...
Amnesia... what a beautiful and soulful track...
bye
