Hmm, that LaMonte Young would be nice to find compiled somewhere.  I just
have a 6 min excerpt from that "classic" long Young peice "Drift Study" (I
think it is) from the "Fluxus" record that came out in '89 or so.  Check
the discography info:

He recently did an installation with someone that is light&sound I think.


John, thanks for putting out vinyl versions of Coil releases over the
years!  

Not to put you on the spot but, I'm curious: with the list, would you be
wililng to share your thoughts about MP3's and how they are used for
bootlegging, making out-of-print music available, etc uses..?  Do you see
Coil ever using the format for releasing music?

I ask because you are talking about releasing a 5-cd boxset and mp3
formatting would be a neat way to buy this on a single cdrom.
