Thanks for the props...I have now moved to LA, however, so not much
chance of catching us in HK again soon, though I might come back
occasionallly for the odd gig. BTW, we will have another CD coming out
around Dec/Jan which is a lot more IDMish than our previous jazz mix
session 'Cutup Mixdown'...the next one is to be called 'Network Effects'
and includes lots of bits and pieces of live gigs in HK as well as
studio tracks. It will be released first in HK and then in the US.
Here's a good tip for those of you in HK: check out

scene.
