Andrew Everything's cool between Gerald and 808 State now. In fact, Gerald runs Juice Box from the same building that 808 State have their studio. Rephlex should be re-releasing 808 State's Newbuild later this month (anyone know if Quadrastate's up for a re-release too?), as well as an accompanying single containing new mixes from 808 State, A Guy Called Gerald, Martin Price and Aphex Twin. Sounds groovy. Oh, and make sure you check out A Guy Called Gerald's latest 12-inch, 'Radar Systems'. He's taken his usual drum & bass to the next level -- very organic, with hardly any repetitive sections at all. Very dense rhythms, subsonic bass and scattershot melodies. Excellent stuff -- makes Goldie's music sound like Toy Town drum & bass. /\/)ark http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/
