it was indeed a transmat compilation and is very hard to find now, orig came out in 1992, - buy the 12"s instead if you are in the americas - order them direct from submerge in detroit (http://www.submerge.com) sm@4thworld *cutting edge mail order* http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/4thworld/

Call me crazy, but perhaps it is possible to accomplish both objectives. Two and a half Sublime Blech moments 1. Mixmaster Morris plays Cost II 2. Mixmaster Morris plays Parasight (unfortunately both at +8)(but still sublime to hear them) 1/2 Well, a personal thing I'm not going to reveal here Why has no-one mentioned Jimi Tenor? adam oh yes, Versivo was quite good on Saturday, with Freeform filling in for Plaid.

It should be noted that 'Innovator' the excellent japanese Derrick May compilation is getting a proper UK release in april courtesy of Open (according to current rumour). Hopefully this will bring it's price into the range of the uninitiated (I paid 40 UKP for it, worth every penny). Phil Gakak Gak Gak Gak Gakak Gak Gak Gak Gaaak Gaaak Gaaak Gaaak Gakak Gak Gak Gak

They still had a few copies of this at Tower on Sunset in Hollywood in December (along with the Japanese 2CD of '76 14').
