Hello people.. for once, there is a structure to this e-mail newsletter.
Let's take you step-by-step through the new world of P2.
---
firstly:
:::
the RND_0.34873349921 compilation (cd only) has eventually hit the shops in
the UK. Exports are filtering out at this very moment, for futher
information on that you can e-mail us (info@pause2.com) especially if you
are interested in ordering some at wholesale prices. Just to recap, this CD
features many exclusive tracks from the likes of: metamatics, zan lyons,
sybarite, eu, theboylucas, quinoline yellow, carthage, draven tanks, maps
and diagrams, wauvenfold, novel23, andreas tilliander, com.a and mati:k.
phew. the reaction to this release is GOOD.. One World (Radio 1) have
officially recommended the comp, and played some excerpts on their show
last week.. (check out
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/one_world/recommended_tunes.shtml for proof,
and to hear the com.a track from the comp - be quick though as this page
will probably only be around for 24 hours). you know there is only one
record to buy your friends for christmas (and not just because it is cheap!)..
:::
PAUSE002, that infamous 12" by GAUGE has also made its way into the shops.
well, actually it is making its way all the time. for those who don't know,
this is the info on gauge: "threatening to erupt into blistering cacophony,
but really intent on following the far more austre path of restraint"
(NME), Gauge recorded The Gatehouse in 1996 with Matt Elliot (Third Eye
Foundation) behind the mixing desk, they take their influences (slint,
codeine, rachels ... ) and twist them into a sound so sparse, yet totally
unique. This 12" minialbum spans 40 minutes of the finest gauge including
one Third Eye Foundation on remix duty.

secondly:
:::
both of these releases are available to purchase direct from P2hq. if you
are UK based, 5 pounds is your price for both of these including delivery..
prices rise slightly for overseas peoples, but not a lot. payment can also
be made easy via paypal (www.paypal.com) ! also, just a quick note to say
that we have just received some more stock of Reframing, (003) - the CD
minialbum by EU released earlier this year, for those of you who tried to
order but we were out of stock.. they are now here!
---
thirdly:
:::
apologies for making this e-letter so UK centric.. however, THIS SUNDAY
(16th December) at 03:05 (yes.. sunday morning.. ie the one which comes
after SATURDAY night.. so in effect this is part of saturdays programming..
err.. ya dig?) - EU will be featured on the ITV (1) programme MIXMASTERS. a
fantastic audio-visual series (this is programme 11) which has been going
out for about 3 months, pioneering all kinds of experimental music and
visuals from labels like ninja tune, rephlex, pork, hospital, sprawl
working alongside some of the best VJs around. anyway, EU have put a
10-minute mix of their track 'wienn' (the first single for PAUSE_2 released
back in 2000).. check it out, it's hot. they were lucky enough to be
invited on the programme by ben mason from the visual / projection company
RED DOG. he worked with them to produce the mighty visuals which will be
shown alongside their audio mix, and has created a highly intricate,
flowing piece which we think is fab. thank you ben.. i hope you'll all tune
in or set your videos.. EU are up first on the show, followed by a mix for
botchit & scarper.
---
fourthly:
:::
the new EP by EU ('tuner') is due for release (currently on 21 January
2002). this EP features 6 tracks and should make a fantastic 12" + CD
release.. following on from the 7" they released on isonauta earlier this
year, it shows a marked progression and change in EU sound. early reactions
have been fantastic, OneWorld (Radio 1) listed it as No.1 in their
recommended chart a few weeks back. we'll keep you informed, in the
meantime check out what some of the press have said already:
"this will have boards of canada quaking in their beats" - sleazenation
"an excellent six-tracker of lush, gratifyingly skewed, bass-heavy
electronica" - jockey slut
and no doubt some more to come!
---
fifthly:
:::
we've got LOADS of fantastic new releases due for the beginning of 2002,
the first of which (apart from the new EU EP) is a 7" by maps and diagrams.
more info on him soon.. and more info on our new releases once we're nearer
to pressing them.
---
and also:
:::
have a happy xmas time, please.. we hope you do. over the xmas period
we'll be doing that web site revamp which has been promised for so long,
you won't see all the changes, but online ordering and sounds and stuff
will all be there soon. bye bye for now!
