I liked one or two of the Neotropic mixes and that was
about it. This remix project didn't come out as nicely
as the remixes done for Bowery Electric. If Kranky
artists would have remixed Low that would have been
cool. When Low was down at the station they seemed to
really dislike the remixes.

actually i remember chris (zimbo to some of you)
bought some 7" that was a Low side-project. I believe
that it was all electronic.   Chris...any comments?

Not to mention Warp picked up artists such as
Stereolab and Broadcast. Low and other Kranky artists
are in the same vein.

While on the Kranky tip, has anyone heard if there are
going to be any other releases from Pan American?
