you are correct. Hex are actually also a seperate entity outside of their
work for Ninja. They've done loads of multimedia projects, visual
instalations, etc... There is a very good chance they are doing a
performance with David Byrne at the worlds fair in Lisbon this summer.
Busy folks all around.

I'm just listening to the masters for the new Neotropic record right
now...it's sweet. Release date is Sept.1 and the title is 'Mr Brubakers
Strawberry Alarm Clock'. We've been talking to Bernd about doing a full
length for us. Nothing totally confirmed yet, but the demos he sent were
wicked. Whoever ends up releasing them, I would recommend picking it up.
Actually, I think all his releases are awesome. Especially the ones that
came out on Incoming a few years ago. Real Life...fucked if I know. Jon
and Matt Coldcut were involved but it was way before my days as a Ninja
and I'm really not sure where the other contributors are now.
Alright Then, Take Care
