Some people were asking me questions about Orange (at Loraine and in
e-mail) so I'll just give everyone a progress report. Our first record
by Lexaunculpt (Double Density EP ORNG001) is coming along nicely. To
quote Han Solo "Just a few more things and we're in great shape." It
will be available before you know it. I am working very hard to make
this an original record that, hopefully, will include something that has
never been done with a 12" release before. 

At any rate, I think the record marks the arrival of a major new talent
on the 'IDM' scene. Those of you who have heard Lex's recent live sets
can attest to the fact that this is some of the best music being made in
the genre not just in the United States but anywhere. Some of
Lexaunculpt's earlier works are available now on an ep released by
Isophlux. That record can be purchased at Modern Music if you are
interested.

Our next 4 releases have been lined up and I will have some additional
information soon once Lex's EP is out. There are some familliar suspects
in the pack and a new face or two (not to mention a secret project here
and there).

If you are interested in submitting material, we are dying to hear it!
It's a shame really that there aren't more artists making original
electronic music in the United States. I would like nothing better than
to run an American label featuring American artists but at this point
that just isn't possible. Either the musicians interested in
experimental music just aren't out there (I hope this isn't the case) or
they aren't interested in promoting their music by sending it out to
labels in the US. Please prove me wrong! The address for submissions is
below you are more than welcome to send interesting noises our way,
wherever they are from.

Lots of Love,
