Pietro:  Infra Red is a jungle label in the UK
AFAIK, but there's also
Infra Red (the US one) which is  a label based
out of Detroit run by Nate Killins.  What is
the matrix info? (there should be info scratched
in the area close to the label after the grooves)
if you can give me details from the matrix,
i can probably tell you exactly what it is.

re: the vmax record.  Vmax is a label run
out of detroit which is now operated solely
by heath brunner. good stuff.  there's quite
a few mentions of vmax on http://www.globalserve.net/~cognition
in the techno/electro reports from 97 and 98.
they started at vmax1000, so 998 is the 3rd
one they did. hope this helps.
