(Found out later she played material from her upcoming album, >which due to the glacial-like pace of Ninja Tune won't be out 'til >September.) Having just worked another 12 hour day, I am moved to respond (but no offence really taken)... 'glacial like pace'. Having this year alone already released 7 singles, 3 full lengths, and a video, I would hardly think we move slow. These things need to be scheduled properly. To be fair to the artist we need to properly pace our release schedule so that similar styles of records don't come out at the same time (ie. if we put out Riz's record in the same month we released Irresistible Force it doesn't do either of them any good as they're then competing for press and sales). 'Glacial Like'! Tell that to my ulcer. Anyway, having heard a good deal of the material from the Neotropic record, it's sounding wicked. I believe we are releasing a single over the summer but no date has been set yet. There is a new track which will appear on 'Ninja Cuts 3-Funkungfusion' (released April 27th). Glad you liked the show. We've been getting lots of good reports coming in from all the cities. Take Care Ninja Jeff
