this sounds like it could be o.s.t.'s latest 12-inch on the qilopothic
label. (o.s.t. is chris douglass of san francisco, originally of
edinburgh...) this is a one-off ep; i wouldn't expect to see anything else
on this label anytime soon, although o.s.t. will have releases on worm
interface and diskono, and possibly suction and fat cat in the not too
entirely distant future, so watch for those as well. for now, you can peep
additional tracks on the spacetime continuum remix lp _remit recaps_ and
vol.s 2 and 3 of worm interface's _alt.freq_ compilations.

o.s.t.'s best is yet to come, however. i have about two hours worth of
unreleased stuff from chris on tape and it really is phenomenal. hopefully
some of this will start appearing soon...write to worm interface and tell
'em to stop stallin'!

spelunk 1 is, if memory serves, a 12-inch by david moxon and kym serrano,
aka him and her. pretty straightforward (if, in context, somewhat weird)
minimal techno. (they also have a track on "anti-static.")

those looking for more solvent, take note that his full-length cd on
suction will be out in the next couple of months. one to grab on site.

ok, enough pr...
