1) check Mego Direct Ordering Service (www.mdos.at ). Mego people are responsible for this release ("put together by Potuznik and Bauer in various stodios of Vienna"). I got my copy from them but that was almost a month ago. Somehow I doubt that they sold 1000 copies within a month since CD release date (early March). 2)Chicks on Speed have an official full length debut CD "Chicks on Speed will save us all" coming out soon (see review in the latest Wire). It will contain SOME of the tracks from "Unreleases" and I am sure it will be more widely available. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

has anyone heard the new album? i'm listening to it now and i'm really impressed. i figured it would be standard dhr style punk stuff, and while there is a bit of that on here, there's a lot of really good profan style dub ("euro trash girl"), a mock rave ditty ("glamour girl") and a lot of other good stuff. in short, i love it. i think there is a patrick pulsinger remix too. can someone give me some background on the girls? g. gweinstock@hws.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

For the record, on his Heavenly Social set (Live at the Social Vol. 3), Richard Fearless kicks off the mix with this track - what a goodie ! Errm, he's also got I-F's Space Invaders on there... In fact, of the double bill he does with Andrew Weatherall, Mr Fearless gets my vote (which surprised me, being a Weatherall fan of old. His set here disappoints. Maybe he was pandering to the Social masses?) Back to the Chicks, though. I'm quoting loosely from a review in Select, May 2000: "Debut album from Munich based American / German / Austrian trio." It goes on to say something about them being 30-somethings, "for rebellious 'adultescents' such as ATR's Alec Empire teen-flavoured petulance is the ideal vehicle for anti- corporate rage. Cicks on Speed are of a similar ilk." (cut) "Over clattering analogue sysnths and robot stutterings, COS's punkoid techno can be briefly thrilling and often distracting." They do a cover of B52's "Give me Back My Man" (hey, what's that like, anybody who's heard it ??) and these covers are said to 'outshine their own threadbare efforts'. They get a 3* rating out of 5. They also did a track on Plug Research's Voices in my Lunchbox comp: Chicks on Speed vs. Potuznik & Bauer 'Lisi, this is house Music'.

. >can someone give me some background on the girls? You can find everything you want to know and more at www.sci.fi/~phinnweb/links/artists/CoS Their official site is at www.chicksonspeed.com but it's less informative if at all. There is a rumor of re-release of "Unreleases" (their "semi-official bootleg" limited CD containing all of their pre-2000 singles, including almost all songs from their official debut "Chicks On Speed Will Save Us All"). They have just released a 4-track ep "Chix 52" on their own label: three B-52 covers and one new song. Hope this helped.

A collaboration between them and german act Kreidler is in the pipeline too at the moment, as far as I know. andy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
