Yeah well speaking from the point of a label owner... i'd like to have all
my back-catalogue in print, but as a small label with limited resources
(read: money!) it's impossible. Besides that and i think this is probably a
view shared by Andy Maddox and others (though i could be mistaken here).
Why spend more money on something that's old and already been heard by the
majority of your listener base when you can invest in new artists or new
music from the same artist?!

There's a certain irony in this posting slagging some ones honest and
possible accurate review (i don't know i wasn't there!?) review of a live
gig they were actually at!! You were not... you were stuck somewhere in New
Mexico possibly near the radioactive hot spot Los Alamos (explains your
abnormal anger). Of course you are entitled to your opinion, just as the
guy who wrote the original review is and above all please remember that all
this list is, is other peoples' opinions... don't take them so personally
and try to have an informed opinion yourself. You'll get far more out of
the list that way.

ObIDM: Finally obtained Header#2 and i love the InnerZone Orchestra (Carl
Craig) track, when's the new album scheduled for release?
