Subject:: (idm) A Modest REPHLEX Proposal

All [REPHLEX] collectors know about the money problems the label has when it comes to releasing music. This is a downer not only on the music buyers, but the people behind the scene, and the artists themselves. What I propose is a means to making money for the label to release even more material. If you all agree with my proposal, why not take action and email [REPHLEX] direct at <rephlex@popmail.dircon.co.uk>. It would be just like writing to your congressman/member of parliament for serious consideration. What I propose is for [REPHLEX] to release all Caustic Window "Joyrex" EP's, including "HMNA", on compact disc. Can all of you imagine the sales the label could invest into other idm acts! The old saying goes, "it takes money to make money." Well I say, "it takes music to make more music." Why not voice what you want coming out in idm? You are the consumer, and if manufacturers what your dollar$, they will have to supply it. The Dean-O-Matic

Geez ... so that would mean I wasted my money getting a one-off cd pressed of all the Caustic Window tracks ... <sigh> If I had the power to decide what would be released on Rephlex, and in what order, this is my plan ... 1. u-Ziq 'Bluff Limbo' (Instant money for them, well, not quite instant) 2. AFX vs. u-Ziq (More Instant Money (tm)) 3. Gentle People's new one, 'Emotion Heater' (Only 'cause I love cheez) 4. Kinesthesia 'Empathy Box' (We've been waiting) 5. AFX 'Analogue Bubblebath 5' (We've been waiting, too) 6. Q-Chastic Reissue (We all want one, possibly) The first two releases would generate some revenue that could be used to issue another portion of their catalogue. Later ...

Was the fabled Q:CHASTIC 2x7" really ever actually released, or is it just that [fabled]? I've never seen anyone talk about it, and especially have never met anyone who actually owns a copy themselves. Was this release kind of like that BRAD STRIDER 12", where years later it finally sees the light of day commercially? Just because it has a call-number... citsahc. christopher miller evil@ddi.digital.net
