I have an interesting connection to this thread...the kumquat CD was mastered
by Joe Yannece, who used to be the drummer for Polyrock (back in the day).
He'd probably be shocked to learn that Polyrock was mentioned on an internet
mailing list, and that Phillip Glass is considering re-issuing it.
Do you think that there would really be enough interest to justify a
re-issue? Maybe someone could just burn some cd-r's micro-label style (with
Polyrock getting their cut, of course).

<< I don't know if Polyrock has dated well. But look for the RCA promo album
where Glass talks about his production of this group.
