Any stores in the US carry this magazine? ...or any UKers perhaps willing
to pick one up for me? Hopefully someone will offer....
BTW--got Ruf Neck Piano _Repaired Piano_ today. Haven't heard the
original, but some tracks appeared on _Sculptured and Broken Sound_.
Reminded me of what would happen if John Cage started hanging out with the
abstract hip hop community. Fairly hip hop in nature beats with some
prepared piano parts overtop. _Repaired Piano_ is the remix disc featuring
members of the Soup-Disc crew and DJ Vadim on mixes. Very interesting
stuff. Got it from BentCrayon for a little under $20. The packaging
though makes Raster music seem overdone. Simply a clear jewel case with a
transparency about 1"x2" that has the tracklisting and credits on it.
As for the person who asked about Soup-Disc sometime back. The label seems
to be a Japanese version of Jazz Fudge, ie--home of some abstract hip hop.
This release is the first I've gotten from the label, but I've read reviews
of their compilations that have been very praise-filled, and they've been
labeled as the definitive hip hop sound by DJ Vadim. If you do a
websearch, they have a website you're bound to find.
