Two slabs worth mentioning that may have been forgotten during the slew of fall releases..... 1. Luke Slater - Freek Funk (NovaMute) This came out just in the beginning of '98, eh? I think so. It's awesome. 2. Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (Roule) Wow... proves that with the right hook, music can truly be an aural narcotic. Even more sickening than that Barbie girl song, but it's actually good. Or maybe cuz I spent the summer in Chicago I was one if the few exposed to it in every goddam club in the city??? Bleep, Aaron

Funny you say this. I was recently polled my Top 5 releases for the year by a music journo compiling a spread for a local magazine. I mentioned Freek Funk, and was quickly put right : it's a '97 release on NovaMute - says so on the back sleeve - but maybe it came out in the USA during the course of '98? I don't understand licensing agreements and suchlike ... so it's possible. And yes : it's awesome :-) I *

While racking my brain for decent releases in 98' (I still can't think of more then a few) I came up with a questions... Was FAT003 on Fatcat released this year? I don't recall anyone ever talking about this release... it's pretty nice however. leif (upset that he couldn't vote for Tri Repetae)
