He's done other stuff for Freerange, "Perennial Pleasures" and
"Audiomontage" are 2 12"s I know off the top of my dome. Heard both ages
ago and can't recall, but I know Mixmaster Morris charted both at some
point (the reason I initially looked for them). If he says it's good, you
prolly can't go wrong.

Read a blurb in the new Urb (i think) about Evolution, apparently the
label's not doing so skippy and they're cutting back on the new release
schedule. S'posedly a US major is looking at signing the Jedi Knights as
well, or whatever they call themselves now. So good and bad news there. 

And my question to you all - Ian Simmonds - Man With No Name 12", Last
States of Nature LP. Heard them yet? Apparently he's the shiznat with
Kruder and Dorfmeister, Giles Peterson, and the NME. Something about
astral jazz melded with shimmering gentle breakbeats, comparisons drawn to
Carl Craig. Had my mouth watering, just curious if anyone can vouch...
