instead of speculating as to why mask 12's are produced in limited
quantities, i went to the forcefiled site to read the interview with
funkstorung. the gist of the mask segment goes like this;
eeform, Jega, Boards of Canada and us. We contributed a
livetrack
we did in Ultraschall, a club in München. It’s limited to
a hundred copies."
Gimme a break!
M."Ha ha ha! We want to keep it very limited, very very
rare. Andy and we
divide all the costs and both get 50 records. We will sent
30 of them to
Hardwax Berlin, 10 will go to Hotmix and 10 to Delerium.
The next Mask
probably will be a combination of Gescom (Sean & Rob from
Autechre),
Jega or Bola or us."
But explain me something: five minutes ago you told me you
wouldn’t mind
if you sold hundredthousand records!
M.: "No, but we are not able to sell so many records. It
would be fantastic if
we would!"
But why only hundred copies?
M.: "For a simple reason. Then you don’t have to take care
of distribution
and all that shit. They’re allready sold. You’re sure
about getting your
money. And it’s a nice idea, your music avaiable just for
you and your
friends. It sounds stupid maybe, but that’s the main
reason we did it."

btw- the only dot release in the us is the kr. kosmos/friend single of
the week. i am guessing because of the dr kosmos connection to minty
fresh and north of no south records through his other band komeda.
