Hi there. This message is to let you know that, following a massive server
crash that managed to wipe the entire site into oblivion, Urban Sounds is
back up and running; we even managed (barely) to publish another update to
the current issue! You can head to the site right now and poke around to
discover what's new, or read on for descriptions and links to all the new
stuff we've added. Peace.

<> In The Studio, we added a very special world premier of the Atom
Heart/Nonplace Urban Field collaboration, Flanger, whose debut album will
appear on Ninja Tune/Ntone in the new year. The full-length track "Short
Note With A Few" was added to the audioPlay pop-up module. Go to the Atom
Heart interview and either click the Launch AudioPlay button or, if you've
got a JavaScript-enabled browser, click the Flanger graphic in the pop-up
that automatically launches from the interview page:
