About ENDLESSNESSISM. This is our biggest and most ambitious project ever.
This unique Ltd 4LP/2CD is launched worldwide March the 6th and could be
described as the musical equivalent of chinese whispers or an olympic relay
race. One track is taken as a starting point and is then remixed by each
artist in succession until all 16 artists have completed their tracks.
Track 16, the last track, will then become the starting track for
Endlessnessism Vol 2 (out March 99). Endlessnessism consists of 16
exclusive tracks by all the Dot knights and handpicked guests that together
have created the world's first neverending remixrace.
