Just had to laugh this morning: Here in South Africa there is a chain of stores called "Edgars" and while standing in the queue to pay for sunscreen I saw an enormous wall-mounted poster announcing: LIFT OFF TO PLANET E (This was advertising their Kiddies Club, with a Tintin-type rocket on the picture.) Visions of Carl Craig (and never mind the other 'e') sprang to mind and quite uncontrollably a large smile spread across my face.....

The Clark Lofthouse release is an excellent 7-track double ep of hard grooving detroit-esque techno by ½ of LFO, Mark Bell. So it basically is a full-length. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
