Skylab Operations. If you'd like to be removed from this list, please
accept our apologies and email us to be removed.

Geez. August already. Time flies when you're having fun so it seems.
Another major mailing with our new mailing list software, if anyone has any
trouble, please let us know and we'll fix it right up. moving on with the
biz...
[[ WWW01 ][][ ADDITIONS, UPGRADES, SHOPPING CART ]]
We are hard at work updating skylaboperations.com with some new mp3
samples, as well as a possibly new forum, chatroom update, and most
importantly, a new shopping cart system. we plan to offer a small amount of
Skylab Operations releases cheaply through mail-order, eventually branching
out and offering some of our friends' releases through our small distribution.
[[ SKY12 ][][ 2088 COMPILATION CD ]]
...is out and about. Many of your favourite stores should have them, or of
course, you can get them direct from Darla (www.darla.com). Order away, you
know you want to.
[[ SKY17 ][][ PHASMID ][][ "cooper is on bubbles remixes" CD ]]
....will be available by the end of next week. Clocking in at just under 70
minutes, 15 artists (including Phasmid's daughter and son) took to task the
remixing of Kell's gem of a track "Cooper Is On Bubbles", appearing in the
near future on Phasmid's debut full length (sky16).
[[ OS04 ][][ .TAPE. ][][ "sea-scaping monthly in 4 or 5 movements" ]]
Observatory is happy to announce the long-awaited mp3ep from label
favourite, .tape, also know as Daniel Romero of Austurias, Spain. Dani uses
children's toys, an old sampler, and a pc microphone in order to mix his
love for indie-pop with his love for electro-pop and output beautiful
child-like landscapes of pure electro-bliss.
[[ SKY-- ][][ FUTURE OF SOUND SERIES ]]
As many of you may remember, we had a limited 7" series planned named The
Future Of Sound. Unfortunately, due to costs, we've had to replan that
series a bit and reorganize. What we're working on now will be a series of
split / collaborative CDs, limited in copies, and packed in coloured
clamshell cases. More news will follow shortly about the series, so, please
feel free to check back to www.skylaboperations.com often or read your
passengers emails. The lineup of artists so far confirmed is quite amazing
and we think you'll be extremely interested in what we're doing with it.
[[ FUTURE ][][ LANDING ]]
The rest of 2002 will see 4 final releases from Skylab Operations, before
we take off a month or two in order to recover from the year's madness.
First and foremost, the PHASMID 2xCD (sky16), Kell's debut full length
release. Disc 1 will feature 11 Phasmid originals, with disc 2 featuring 11
remixes from: B. Fleischmann, Bochum Welt, Figurine, Frederik Schikowski,
Headphone Science, I Am Robot And Proud, ISAN, Printed Circuit, Snospray,
Sweet Trip, and Tim Koch. Then......
Following will be the HEADPHONE SCIENCE debut CD. 70 minutes of hectic
beats, plenty of glitchy melodies, and enough bass to shake your subs.
Then.......
Towards the end of the year we'll have the split release (with our pals
Slide The Needle) of a limited split 7" between ANORAK (featuring Germany's
CKID) and SATELLITE GROOVES. 500 copies on coloured vinyl, with silk
screened cover art from Anorak's other half, Nicolas Saez. Last but not
least......
The final release for the year will be a part of our FUTURE OF SOUND
series. More information will follow shortly, as, we're not *quite* ready
yet to announce the specifics of the series.
Thank you all again for your attention and interest as always. If you have
any questions you can always contact us at: passengers@skylaboperations.com
