Found this little press release which I thought some of you might find amusing..... 3-D of MASSIVE ATTACK and Liam Howlett of THE PRODIGY do soundtrack for Private! In an unprecedented move, 3-D of Massive Attack and Liam Howlett from The Prodigy are to contribute tracks to 'The Uranus Experiment: Part Two', the explicit x-rated successor to the first-ever adult movie to feature scenes filmed with sci-fi special effects. Released in June, with the option of hardcore or softcore versions, 'The Uranus Experiment: Part Two' will feature 'an astronaut/alien orgy' and confirms the status of Private Media Group Inc. as the leading adult entertainment company in the world and the only such company to achieve a stock market listing on the prestigious Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq: PRVT) in the USA. Formed in 1987, Bristol's Massive Attack have garnered a reputation as one of the most repected outfits on the club and dance scenes and their most recent album, Mezzanine, was critically acclaimed the world over for its sophisticated groove sensibility. The band are also acknowledged influences on acts such as Portishead, and remixed U2's 'Mysterious Ways' single. Massive Attack won 'Best Video' at the 1998 MTV Europe awards for 'Tear Drop'. Rapper '3D' is also a recognised graffitti artist who has had the distinction of having his work exhibited in art galleries. The Prodigy, MTV USA award winners in 1998 for 'Best Dance Video'and 'Best Breakthrough Video', possess a combination of raw power and attitude that has seen them leap to the forefront of the techno scene. Never shy of controversy, especially with videos like 'Smack My Bitch Up', The Prodigy's latest album The Fat Of The Land received ecstatic reviews and became a huge hit. Liam Howlett writes most of the band's compositions and is a major factor behind the group's distinctive style.

Wow! A graffitti artist accepted by the mainstream enough to have his work displayed in a gallery! He's got to be good!

Or bad...what does the mainstream know about graffiti art anyway? About as much as I do, probably.

Hey, i personally enjoy 3D's artwork. For examples of it, check the liners of the Box Set, Blue Lines and Protection, and the origianl covers from most singles off those albums. Plus the Back cover of the Help compilation. And the covers of the Headz compilations on MoWax. Even more was posted on the Rolling Daydream website, though i don't know if that's still around. Anyways, I find his stuff to have a nice original style, though more arty than most graffitos. _________________________________ Adam Roesch / roesch@augsburg.edu Augsburg College / Minneapolis / MN / USA Visit my Fila Brazillia/Pork Recordings fan site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "The only disease we need in our blood is love" TRICKY

sarcasm, i hope. the stuff he did when he was a writer was your average oldschool style. the stuff he does now for album artwork and such is not graffiti.

in quebec city there's a whole area under a highway (& another one in the lower city) where it is actually permitted to make graffiti. most of them kick some serious ass. looking at them, you wonder how such an aesthetical prowess can still be considered vandalism by some. & then pop stars like 3d (whatever his skills may be) get in museums for face value, mostly. i have yet to hear of a genuine graffiti artist get that kind of recognition. it's rant day today, i tell ya. -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com

Was walking through Deep Ellum last night, and there's a graffiti mural up on the back of one of the buildings down there that's really cool. It's a tornado scene, kinda "Twister" like, there's a cow getting sucked up and the letters in "Mooooo!" trailing behind. ;) There used to be this one on the drive home from Deep Ellum I loved to look at, but could only do it at 30 miles an hour. I always wanted to go down during the day one time and take a picture in front of it or something, but never got around to it. Hmm. Sonic Therapy promo pictures... cuz we are like rock stars or something.

What, Basquiat wasn't a genius?

well, 3-D is in a graffiti book i have from like 1984, he has skills, he's genuine, trust me anyhow, fucking Twist gets BIG gallery shows and can sell his shit for $$$$ word steven f In a message dated 99-05-07 14:42:47 EDT, eerie@mnemonic.net writes: << & then pop stars like 3d (whatever his skills may be) get in museums for face value, mostly. i have yet to hear of a genuine graffiti artist get that kind of recognition. >>

perhaps, but that was a while ago. many graffitis have been done since then, & i'm sure better ones. though, thinking back, perhaps they look a hell lot better on the streets than in a museum after all. :) (though i doubt that's the reason why you don't see them in museums.) -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com

I don't know of this counts but there's a show here in NYC of Barry McGee aka Twist, a fairly well known west coast tagger. It was really cool stuff, I think the show is travelling nationwide. I would call that genuine recognition... peace Nate On Fri, 7 May 1999, david turgeon wrote:

don't worry, we all have "spraycan art", just like you. 3d's stuff from that era was sub-par compaired to what was going on in france and engand at the time. tomas

Sure. There are plenty of graf artist doing extremely well today. There was an an article in Thursday's New York Times about successful graf artists(Art, Borne of Splotches From the Underground). It features Kel First Rodiguez (who now is a web page designer. He designed the Dow Jones 10,000 web page) , Lady Pink (who gets paid big bucks for murals) Blade ,Zephyr and Futura 2000. Twist (or Twister) has been a nineties standout. But I think the art he shows in galleries and museums resembles his street graf too much. It makes it difficult to figure out whether he is producing street art or fine art. Basquiat, Kenny Scharff and Keith Haring's art is influenced by graf but it did not resemble street art. --- "Nate Harrison [Toshok Laboratories]" <nate@toshoklabs.com> wrote:
