It should be pointed out that the Gescom MD release is not on Mego.  It is on
Touch/Or, as was the recent (Mego stalwarts) Farmers Manual release.

That said, Mego has put out some great stuff.  You should still be able to
find General Magic's _Frantz_ and Fennesz' _Hotel_Paral.lel_, which are great
noisy-Ovalish-techno things.  If you can find the first FM CD release,
_No_Backup_, get it immediately, because it's out of print, hard to find, and
very very good.  I'm less enamored of the Pita _Seven_Tons_For_Free_ CD
(mostly noise, not enough variety), and I have no Mego vinyl (yet).  The
Pita/General Magic release on Source is very cold ambient stuff, and very good
as well.
