too good to be true: juno.co.uk is listing that Newbuild was (finally) reissued by rephlex this week. those in the UK - can I get a witness? hadn't seen it listed at any Stateside importers...
and check warpnews if you haven't lately for tidbit on Ae EP7 (indeed eleven tracks!) as well as a new sqrpshr ep incl. an Ae rmx.
and lastly, nice (unintended?) touch on the 'music for airports' bit, aronne. both post-ers can consider themselves as fulfilling a prophesy of sorts, I suppose, 'cos if I'm recalling correctly, that 'bleepy computer generated music' in O'Hare's neon tunnel was written and performed by one of our founding fathers, Brian Eno, no less.

(who _hates_ getting screwed into arriving at a C concourse gate at O'Hare and having to lug all his sh*t and weave in and out of slow-ass muthaf*kas through that tunnel, all the while just trying to get the hell out of O'Hare and back home to some solitude...)
