FUK I HATE THAT! > >skam ripped them off how? well it was originally Michael Fakesch's (of Funkstörung/MAS) idea to put out the MASKs in the 1st place, in collaboration w/ Skam. Mike did all the work in putting MASK 1&2 together. there were originally only 2 planned at the time. anyhow, Andy from Skam then goes and starts releasing Mask 300, 400 and 500 w/out permission or even consulting Musik Aus Strom at all. and so the two labels don't talk anymore really. thats sort of why people refer to them as MASK 1, 2, 300, 400 and 500 instead of MASK 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500, so to differentiate between the collaborative ones and the ones that are Skam alone. in essence 300, 400 and 500 are purely Skam and have nothing to do w/ MAS at all. night// »-®øĞ-» The Jega Discog. ///////////////////////////// xxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx ////////////////////// http://www.geocities.com/bellexone/ ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
