The monolake cd is out and it it fantastic! It's been out
since mid december. here is the review i posted to the
list back on dec 28 in Recoreviews pt 28:

. Monolake: Hongkong cd (Chain Reaction)
This cd compiles the two Monolake 12"s on Chain Reaction with 
the  Monolake 12" on Din plus two previously unreleased tracks 
that were recorded during live performances in Hong Kong and 
Guangzhou. On one of the new tracks, Mass Transit Railway, 
Monolake is assisted by Imbalance artist Wieland Samolak. If 
you are unfamiliar with the previous Monolake releases, the 
tracks on this cd are in the classic basic channel/chain reaction
style of grungy dubby techno & ambience. The closest comparison 
in style would be last year's Porter Ricks: Biokinetics cd. If you 
enjoyed that one then you'll love this cd. I recommended it highly. 
9/10

I got the monolake cd (and all of my other chain reaction, maurizio,
and basic channel stuff at bent crayon (http:www.bentcrayon.com).
I believe it was only like $15 there too. 

Hope this helps.
