various Warp releases (Blechsdottir, Cichlisuite, T-shirt...)< Don't know if this is the correct answer, but until recently the 'slash from left to right' slogan on Designers Republic work usually appeared in conjunction with a bar code. Thus I always presumed that it alluded to the fact that bar codes read left to right. Whether they actually do or not, however, I've no idea. And of course, the slogan now appears on the new T-shirts alongside the logoman design so hey, who knows? That's my guess. Damon. listening to: Green Velvet - 'Flash' (just f***ing incredible. House music for sick people.)

in my past fascination with all things macabre i remember references to ritual throat slashing in which the importance of a left to right stroke was emphasised. Jack "the ripper" for one picked up on this, slashing always from left to right. of course, in a right handed world most things operate from left to right . . . ryan whitehead np frank lowe: black beeings
