Album News
----------
Red Snapper's fourth album _Our Aim Is To Satisfy Red Snapper_ is out
now. Co-produced by Hugo Nicholson, the album captures the dynamism of the
band's acclaimed live act and features long-time collaborator MC Det and a
new vocalist, American émigré and ex-wrestler Karime Kendra. The band's
official site
http://www.redsnapperonline.net is up and running and a
special microsite featuring exclusive radio mixes from all three members of
the band can be found at
http://www.warprecords.com/warp/ography/lp/WARP78
_Blue Jam_, a specially prepared edition of Chris Morris' jarring radio
series has finally been green-lighted for release on 23 October. Available
for the first time on CD and Cassette, _Blue Jam_'s "ambient stupid"
compiles sketches from all three series of the innovative and controversial
BBC Radio 1 series broadcast between 1997 and 1999. Chris Morris is the man
primarily responsible for the BBC TV series _The Day Today_ and the infamous
Channel 4 spoof current affairs series _Brass Eye_. Interestingly the MVC
chain of music & video stores in the UK have "declined to stock the album"
stating that it does not "fit their image as family stores". This surprised us
somewhat as several of the sketches are all about families.
Two Lone Swordsmen's new album _Tiny Reminders_ is out now. To listen to audio
clips go to
http://www.warprecords.com/warp/ography/lp/WARP77 .
Meanwhile the duelling duo of Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood are
taking their highly successful _Turntables & Machines_ tour beyond British
shores for select dates in Europe and Japan. The full list can be found at live
news section of our news pages
(www.warprecords.com/warp/news/contents.html#tourdates). TLS'
official site, The Rotter's Golf Club is now open for business. Visit them
at

Jamie Lidell's digitally damaged debut _Muddlin' Gear_ is in shops now.

The European release of Savath & Savalas' _Folk Songs For Trains Trees &
Honey_ is out on Warp on 20 November.
Three years since their last album _TNT_, Warp will be releasing
_Standards_, the fourth album by Chicago underground crew Tortoise in Europe in
early 2001. More details to follow.
Single news
-----------
Boards Of Canada's new EP _In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country_ ,
recorded at Hexagon Sun in Scotland's Pentland Hills, is released on 13
November. BOC's long awaited second album is scheduled for an early 2001
release.
Prefuse73's debut single _Estrocaro_ is released on 23 October. The work
of Atlanta based programming genius Scott Herren, the EP reflects the
southern states producer's desire to rebuild Hip Hop from the roots. A full
length album featuring a stellar cast of guests including Anticon's Dose
One, MF Doom, Anti-Pop Consortium's Beans and The Sea And Cake vocalist Sam
Prekop is set for Spring 2001.
Autechre release their second Peel session on 20 November. If you caught the
original broadcast on 9th September 1999, you might remember that the track
titles mysteriously did not accompany the audio masters to Peel's studio, so
John generated his own titles on air...

02 Blifil
03 Gaekwad
04 19 Headaches
Broadcast's new single _Extended Play Two_ is out now. It continues the
band's tradition of composing exceptional B-sides, featuring 5 brand new
tracks including a live-in-studio-recording of stage favourite _Unchanging
Window/Chord Simple_ and the much-sought after instrumental _Drums On Fire_.
The band are undertaking a short UK tour before they embark on their first
tour of the US.

John Callaghan, onetime postman and nude artist's model, follows his 1998 7"
release _I'm Not Comfortable Inside My Mind_ with a new 6 track 10" EP
_You've Got Your Memories, I've Got My Dreams_, out on 23 October.
Other News

exhibition, featuring Chris Cunningham's 12 minute hardcore video
installation _flex_ is now underway and runs until 15 December.
Hotmail/Mailserver Trouble
--------------------------
Apologies to the Hotmail users who were plagued with multiple confirmation
requests from our mail server after our last mailout. It would appear that
Hotmail repeatedly bounced the small flash movie attachment on the original
mail, however it let through the confirmation requests from our mailserver,
which attempt to find out if the email address is valid before it is
unsubscribed. The upshot of this fiasco was that nearly all our Hotmail
users were automatically unsubscribed by our mailserver after being bombarded
with automatic emails. Ouch.
Obviously the vast majority of those users did not wish to be unsubscribed
and as a result we have rebuilt the list from original requests. Unfortunately
this means that the tiny number of people who did genuinely wish to unsubscribe
have been resubscribed. We can only apologise to these people and mumble
something about the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few. But
we won't be rushing to mail out any attachments again.
You can now find the flash flyer by clicking on the Boards Of Canada EP
cover on our news page:
