Clatterbox "Easy Does It" I haven't seen a whole lot of traffic about this release but I picked this up this week and really enjoy it. Fourteen tracks (3½ - 4 min each) of excellently catchy light electro and is much more consistent then their previous Clear 2x10" (which flirted much more with d&b). Another winner from Clear. BTW: Anybody know what the upcoming releases are for Clear? I remember somebody mentioning As One & Scanner as new signings to Clear? Any more info? Thanks! -->-Lance--- mclance@en.com

Agreed. Nice fold-out cardboard packaging too.

Well, As One The Message in Herbie's Shirts CLR417 27/5/96 epic a short track about love the message in herbie's shirts hyeres new wave chiaro the kiss queen constance 8 varied tracks, recognisably As One, but I think he has let the fact that its a Clear Release show by extending the breadth of styles. That said, I don't have the last As One album so I can only compare it to Reflections, against which it is perhaps less clean and clear sounding, and with more variety of timbre if not actually tempo.
