A few words from Mike Cadoo at n5MD (http://n5md.com): -- -- the official word... On Monday November 17, almost exactly 3 years to the day that MD1 was released, i received a rather interesting email reply from Sony in regards to a query i had about the imminent pressing of MD8. "I am sorry, but we don't make Mini Disc anymore." It seems that they (Sony) have deemed pre-recorded MiniDisc obsolete. I could smell this coming but didn't think it would be so soon. It would seem as a very serious issue being that n5MD has the format's general abbreviation in it's moniker. But it's not. It's not as big a deal as i thought it would be…sure it's a shame. But i move quickly and I'm not going to let something small like this get in the way of the awesome tunes that the n5 roster consistently makes. Sure, I will miss picking up the MDs from the PO when they first arrive…the way they smell…the little small palette they come on...and all the airmail stickers...i will miss it...but...we're gonna move on to bigger and better things. So what's in a name? Nothing! n5MD has not only been known for pre-recorded MDs but for quality music on a whole slew of formats. So, i'm going to keep the name...no changes there... So what will the changes be? The Proem Live Disc and MD8 will be pressed on CD. Both will be released in early 2004. There is lots planned for 2004 so keep your eyes peeled to our news section because we've signed up a few new folks, we have releases from some of the familia planned, and we'll be working on new ways for you to get n5MD tunes quicker, easier, and hopefully cheaper (don't unload those MD players just yet). I'd like to give a personal thanks to all of you who supported the MD format by either buying it or agreeing to make music for it. They were fun releases. And you all made them possible! Now...lets get back to making good music... -mike c. | n5MD_// --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I always thought it was a little weird that N5MD put out this dying, obsolete, single-vendor format. I love the music and bought the CD reissues of the Spark and Quench albums. The new Proem should kick some ass -- now how about a CD of Portland and "Among Others" :-) -- Eric Sorenson - EXPLOSIVE Networking - http://explosive.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Agreed. It's little wonder we haven't seen them try to build houses and apartments to house the artists in question, forcing them to live there and pay rent, giving even more money back to Sony ;D derek -- eggytoast.com : eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
