i can tell you first hand because i know both parties involved pretty well that nothing was "stolen" per se. there was some bad blood, but its all squared away now. its really a complicated matter actually. autechre will be working in the future with c.i. so it seems to me that the idea of theft out of bounds. its one thing to steal a single track, but to continuously steal release after release goes to show(at least to me) that they have a working relationship with autechre. also, its one thing to steal a remix, but to steal the original track as well? both labels are on the up & up and deserve your support. no-ones trying to hijack anyone elses stuff. this is as close to fact as i can get -pj >just for the record this IS a rumor, choc industries, did NOT steal the gescom >remix of the new PBO track. and the next choc. industries 12" has another >remix by autechre. this comes from a reliable source, just so you all know. it >seemed like a interesting little thing going on there with the theft of the remix, >but it's not true. > hmm. well, i just heard from someone on the inside that it _is_ true, but that everyone at chocolate industries and schematic have recently kissed and made up and everyone's cool about it. confirmation? -- pj>the exalted grand puba of mail order modern music 1018 north charles st, baltimore, md. 21201 fon: 410.625 9390 fax: 410.625 9359 http://www.modernmusic.com DO YOU GET OUR WEEKLY NEW RELEASE LIST?
