I can't remember where I got the info from, but I was aware the time I picked up the first Metamatics EP on promo (you smug git :) ) that it was part of a series which was going to be released on CD in time. I don't believe Clear were trying to rip people off, maybe you just can't get the information you need out in the boondocks (or the USA as its more commonly known :)

IDM is not a representative market sample. These records may be sought after here but in the outside world lets face it, noone gives a shit. Maybe these companies could press up an IDM edition and sell an extra hundred copies to us, but the actual market for these little records is miniscule. Maybe releasing records in limited editions actually increases sales for these guys by creating a little hype? In any case these tunes are still pretty easy to find in England despite their limitedness. Does this proove my point?

No kidding... I always feel a bit discouraged when no one at the only "real" dance music shop in town even knows about the Skam label, and anything on Schematic ends up in a crate labelled "experimental/misc", sitting under the shelves of all the progressive house techno funked up tripped out sh*t hop wannabes. And fwiw, I too distinctly remember hearing that Metamatics was being released as a series of 12"s, to be followed in a few weeks by a compilation CD of those tracks. I'm glad I was able to get at least one of those 12"s. -- guyjr@ns.gt.ed.net | I.D.M.- That stage in sleeping when your feet are a.k.a., Guy Elden, Jr. | moving faster than your eyes.
