Hardy has been too busy lately since he started a Masters Degree, plus the fact that they were dropped from vital distribution along with a lot of other labels didnt help, Vital distribution have a lot to answer for, they really have managed to fuck up a lot of small labels with their narrow-minded attitudes. Spymania were obviously headed for more experimental climes so getting a new distribution deal isnt so easy when the distributors wont even listen to what is being played to them... at the end of the day it all comes down to money, this perfectly illustrates the point i have made before about small labels not being able to afford to repress records... because often they can not even afford to press their next release... but dont worry slow plans are afoot... spymania will return in some form... maybe in the next millenium.
