Much of the earlier profan releases are hard to find now but well worth tracking down. Here's what I have from profan: 12"s: . Reval: s/t 12" (Profan) . M:I:5: Mabstab 1:5 12" (Profan) . Thomas Brinkmann Stuidio 1: Variationen 12" (Profan) . Thomas Brinkmann Studio 1: Variationen 2 12" (Profan) . M:I:5: Tamastar 12" (Profan) . Sweet Reinhard: Believe 12" (Profan) . Digital: Intoleratio Halb 12" (Profan) . M:I:5: Rondo 12" (Profan) . Sweet Reinhard: Der Dritte Weg 12" (Profan) . Grungerman: Hout 12" (Profan) . Sweet Reinhard: M 12" (Profan) . Mint: Phongram 12" (Profan) . Gas: Modern 12" (Profan) . Mike Ink: Dadajack 12" (Profan) I believe there is a new Mike Ink cd coming out this week on profan. Here's the info on that one: . M:I:5: Mabstab 1:5 CD (Profan) For a sampling of the profan artists & styles get the great Profan cd comp called Kompakt 1. Don't forget the Profan sublabel Studio 1 which is a terrific source for ultra-minimal techno by Mike Ink. There are 10 12"s in all on this label all known by the colors of their labels. For a good retrospective of the Studio 1 material try the Studio 1 comp cd. Regarding Mike Ink's previous full length releases, there are two that I have: . Love Inc: Lifes A Gas Force Inc. CD (Force Inc) - for more floor friendly techno-house tracks. . Gas: Gestaltung CD (Mille Plateaux) - for more dubby experimental techno tracks. Hope this helps! -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
