Hmm.... just for record, the distributor's press info is slightly off. 'Music from Passing Cars' is the third Aspen full length. Bevan releases music as Aspen and Signer, and did some production for Mandrake, but "the works of Signer, Isol, Mandrake, Aspen and Jet Jaguar" are definitely not "the work of one man". Well, they're the work of one man each, but not the same man. :-D I believe Bevan's take on who we all are is going to show up in a feature on de-bug I believe. Auf Deutsch? I dunno. Not that I have any reason to be sour about someone else being given credit for Jet Jaguar stuff, of course. ;-) Michael -+- Involve Records http://involverecords.com Jet Jaguar MP3s (latest upload Nov2000) http://mp3.com/jetjag -+- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
