or even beautronics!! which is what it's really called... apparently it is 
long since sold out, but is being repressed. i have been raving about isan 
for ages, but not here as i have only just joined. :)

last years single 'bettys lament' on bad jazz is definitely theirbest 
record to date.. it is so good. mmmmm. the split 10" mentioned above was 
with tin foil star, i think it was 3 or 4 track isan did tho.... it is on 
atomic records i believe, of belgium.

hope this helps!! tom xx
