Well I don't know if there's going to be a 'series' of electro releases per se... but the upcoming release by another new US artist ULTRADYNE has identical artwork to _The Journey Home_ and _Kilohertz_. And Ultradyne's 12" (_E Coli_) is electroey. On the other hand maybe WARP have just adopted a new standard artwork form for a bit. BTW. The Elecktroids album _Elecktro World_ (NB. Similarity to _Computer World_) is, I think, going to be *the* seminal electro album. Untouchable! greg The Official WARP Web Site 3 0 3 http://www.ncl.ac.uk/~n264671/wap-indx.html
