actually they have two out now.. the newest came out a few weeks ago and is by the frankfurt-tokyo connection.. frankfurt-tokyo connection is actually very harthouse sounding music from a japanese artist (susumu yokota).. not as good as spicelab but not chopped liver..

anyone considering buying one of these i would highly suggest shelling out the money for the still-import chapter 2 over the domestic chapter 1.. much of chapter 1 is as old as 1992 and sounds that way.. chapter 2 is still actually quite old (much of the tracks are early to mid 93) but it is quite a bit better than 1.. still not incredible though, like much of the most recent 12"s (essence of nature, resistance d, b-zet to name a few)..

offhand i don't believe there's a ton of spicelab material but oliver lieb, who=spicelab, has done gobs of work under different names lately.. his lsg 12" on superstition is popular right now and he teamed up with dr. atmo from fax to put out a great 12" under the name of java on eye-q.. i believe he is also behind the paragliders 12" on superstition.. also notable is his full length ambient release on recycle or die that samu posted information about a few weeks back..

Yep. I have the Frankfurt-Tokyo Connection Vol 1 EP, and also an EP he released under his own name on Space Teddy Records (I forget the name of the EP, but it's Japanese). Both are excellent. I'll have to get the album -- any idea of the title?

So Harthouse is losing it....? Pity.

Wow, so Lieb is the man behind Spicelab. Yep, I have the LSG EP (by LSG) and the Paragliders EP (by the Paragliders), both on Superstition, both by Lieb, and both incredible. Haven't seen the Java release, but if it's recent I'll try and search it out. Can you give me details of the Recycle or Die release.....? Thanks a lot, Cosmic
