Here's some music news about a handful of different artists that might be of=
 interest to many here...

- Plug Reserach is also poised to release some impressive new releases. The=
 first is a two part compilation called Voices in My Lunchbox Vols 1&2 on=
 which wellknown electronic artists experiment with vocals. Volume one of =
 this two part series features Pole, Carmen Tejada, Kit Clayton, and=
 Smyglyssna. Pole's remix of the Quarks track licensed from the Monica label=
 in Berlin is quite exceptional. Pole adds Japanese vocals to his signiture=
 pops & clicks. Carmen Tejada shows son John, who produced the track, that=
 her operatic vocals will also work on his electronic production. Kit=
 Clayton adds vocals to a melodic dub track that flows very well. Also Mr.=
 Smyglyssna uses the beautiful voice of Cornelia to structure an absolutely=
 brilliant peace of music. The artists on this comp show us that vocals can=
 still be a healthy instrument in the making of unconventional home based=
 electronic music. Voices in My Lunchbox Volume Two will feature vocal=
 tracks from Sluts, Strings, and 909 , Chicks On Speed vs. Potuznik & Bauer,=
 Jamie Hodge, and Ectomorph. Expect both volumes to be out in the next few=
 months. Also on the PR horizion is a Vainqueur ep.

 spring. DEC will also have two new tracks on the forthcoming Transmat=

 german. The release contains two tracks, "Occer" and "Silicad," and is=
 limited to 500 copies. At the end of April Arovane will release his third=
 ep on the Din label called Arovane Amx. The ep will contain arovane's=
 remixes of dynamo's track "Aussen Vor" and Various Artist's track "No.8" as=
 well as several new tracks. Din will also release an Arovane cd in the=
 summer of 1999.
