First of all, forty lashes to my sorry ass for letting our mailbox go
unattended for so long. We promise not to be so brain-dead in the future. No,
really,... Secondly, we're out of the FFRR samplers (with Vapourspace, Orbital,
Cali Dreaming, One Dove and some record our Kraut boss made us put out). Thanks
for all that responded, and sorry to all that didn't make it on time. The next
one to come down the pike will be a hip hop joint featuring Jeru, Poverty,
Urban Species, Urban Thermo Dynamics, etc. We've got a lot going on our Payday
affiliate this summer, and if your BPM preferences go below 110 you should
check them out. E-mail us your snail-mail address if you want one of these
Funkmaster Flex-mixed tapes, probably available in mid-may, promo only. The
first 500 replies with a list of your favorite hip hop radio, clothing stores
and clubs will get one... By the way, now that we have our on-line stuff
slightly together, you'll get a much faster response electronically. Regular
mail sits in boxes waiting in vain until we hire an inter to answer it (any
volunteers? Lunch and cab fare is all we can provide, plus all the CDs you can
steal)... Listening to the new Jon Hassell record on Warner Brothers as I
write. The old man took Jeru's "Come Clean" lock, stock and barrel without
paying. What's up?... On to our artists, Vapourspace is gettin' tons of press
(Spin, Keyboard, Rolling Stone). People are waking up! Check it out in the
Tower listening booth near you. Vapourspace will be the headliner at DB and
Scotto's "Boom '94" in NYC on April 16th, and then he's off to Europe in May.
Look for new mixes of "Vista Humana" to drop in June. The one's I've heard so
far are amazing!... Looks like NovaMute are snaggin' Underworld. (By the way,
Darren Emerson's set at Red up in Boson was wonderful)... The new Orbital EP,
"Diversions," has just hit the stores. It contains the promo-only "Impact USA,"
a great John Peel session, "Semi-Detached," and the Underworld, Psychick
Warriors, and CJ Bolland mixes of "Lush." Phil and Paul are busy in the studio
working on their LP, and early tracks are gorgeous, definitely taking things to
the next level. Look for a single in July , and the LP in August... The Utah
Saints are busy working on their second LP, doing time with Oakenfold and
Osbourne at the controls... Attention all One Dove fans! Please call your
favorite local radio stations (and the ones you hate) and request "Breakdown!"
MTV has added it to 120 Minutes, and we need your help to bang the Post Modern
stations. Any help would be greatly appreciated. George will give you a big
kiss!... That's all for now. Don't be a stranger, but by all means be strange.
Take care.
Neil.
