Ed Rush and Optical had a 6 hour stopover here in LA yesterday and I
picked them up and took them to lunch, along with Nico, who is now
living here in Hollywood for the winter.
I asked Matt about the CD and he said mid to late January. It's going
to be a two CD affair, with the second being a live mix by himself and
Ed Rush. I forgot to ask if the first cd will include the ultra nasty
'life-crisis' rmx by Andy C or the Matrix rmx of 'Medicine' that were on
that limited lp sampler that came out at the end of October.
It was also my pleasure to hear a handful of new plates they cut before
leaving for their Australia/New Zealand tour a few weeks ago. Bacteria
and Gas Mask were the only two I remember the names of, and yes sir,
they were sick!
In related news, Optical's moved his studio into the No U turn complex
in Acton. I'm not a 100% but I think the first release on No U
Turn/Saigon for '99 might be a completely wicked optical remix of
rymetyme's 'We Enter'.
When I get a chance, I'll post a few reviews for all the jungle heads
out there, including current and upcoming releases coming from the whole
NUT crew.
Peace out,
brock out.
