Hey peoples, Just got my claws on the new System 7 single "Limited Addiction". Its very nice! Anyway, the reason I'm wasting bandwidth is to shed a little light on the question of new releases for those of you who don't know... Inside the single it is stated that the release date is October 1994 on Butterfly/Big Life. Two cd's will be released one called "Fire" with beats, the other called "Water" with the same tunes but *nearly* beatless. If this helps anyone...well here it is. If not...sorry. BTW, the single has remixes by Marshall Jefferson, Chris Andrews and Youth (plus a bunch of differently *mixed* edits).

This little disc is absolutely wonderful. The Juno Reactor mix kicks booty. I can't wait until the fire album comes out. I really don't like the cheesy cardboard box though. For the money, you'd think they'd give you a plastic jewel box. Who wants a limited addition box anyway? Not me. No sirree.

Ok, picked up the new Portishead (guess it was released domestically yesterday) and I *LOVE* this! Flipping through a zine I saw a review of the "Sourtimes" single & it mentioned a "Bristol" sound... is there some kinda scene that's supporting this type of music.. & if so, who's making/releasing work like this... I want MORE :) -- _Dan

I want MORE :) -- The Bristol scene referred to is typified by weird, twisted takes on hip-hop & soul (sometimes called "trip-hop" although that's an iffy term these days). Prime figures in this scene include Massive Attack, Tricky, Smith & Mighty and Portishead. Older Smith & Mighty releases, esp. "Steppers Delight" EP should be sought out at all costs. Excellent stuff. The new Smith & Mighty LP/singles is really bad pop music, however. Both Massive Attack LPs and singles are wonderful records as are Tricky's "Aftermath" and "Ponderosa" singles. Tricky (a member of the Massive Attack crew) has a full length slated for Jan. 95 release. Hope this helps. It may not be a complete review of the Bristol scene, but hey, I live in Chicago! Scott
