I guess Recycle or Die is alive again after being on hold for a while. The new one is called "Rhythm and Irrelevance" by #9 Dream. One of the members of #9 Dream is Helmut Zerlett, who was one of the people involved with the excellent Baked Beans project. Also, at the Montreaux Jazz Festival, the eye-q family is going to show all the purists their vision of improvisation. Ralf Hildenbeutel, Dominic Woosey and Stevie Be Zet all on stage *at the same time* improvising live ambience. After this ambient extravaganza will be live performances from Ambush and Earth Nation. Whoever's going to be there is one of the luckiest people in the world as you get to see the entire eye-q/harthouse/rod family AND see DJ Krush... For those of you that missed Air 2 the first time around, it's being reissued under the Ambient World label. I think this label is not limited and is going to be used to give certain FAX releases a wider audience. or at least that's what it looks like. For anyone who hasn't heard Air 2 (Travelling Without Moving) I highly recommend it. Namlook, who usually spends a day or two on a CD, spent two weeks on this one and it shows. Also qris asked about Create on the FAX label. Create is the new one (on the world label) from Charles Uzzel-Edwards (head of the new FAX USA office) and Pete Namlook. They've also collaborated before under the name A New Consciousness, which was alright. Why the big hype on Mo' Wax in the techno world? They've been around for a long time but have been ignored. DJ Shadow has been around for a long time too, as have La Funk Mob and RPM. All these three seem to be getting some praise in the "techno" world. They even had an article in the NME about "trip-hop" with Mo' Wax stuff and Dust Brothers etc. Both Shadow and La Funk Mob have done plenty of stuff with other people for a long time but I guess now they're considered "real artists" since the critics acknowledge their presence now. Kind of reminds me of possible racism in techno, where people like Dave Angel (check out his excellent Two Sandwiches Short of a Lunchbox single on Apollo) and Tony Thorpe who have always been ignored by the majority of the techno crowd. To check out the real deal on Mo' Wax and some more good music, send mail to gregbb@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu Jonathan eabu751@orion.oac.uci.edu

Very curious, and as Jonathan suggests, something smells really suspect here. Ned Raggett eahg119@rigel.oac.uci.edu

well, they have a good reputation, and some nice stuff crossing over to appeal to techno heads in the way dust bros do... any recent hype will be to promote the recently released 'royalties overdue' complitaion 2lp. I love the rougher stuff in this stlye, like to hear more about it! - Anyone checked out the Portishead 'numb' [go beat] single yet? This is a stunner, cant go wrong. Chris. ps. that mention of eat static's old stuff, that was me that was. I didnt say i knew them or anything, just I know where to get them (or where you could get them at one point - dunno if any left now) in the UK. I thought someone said they knew the US distribution end.... ? I should think you'd have to ask for these specially though..
