SEAN> The Kraftwerk track Expo 2000 is dubby electronic - not quite the same electro-proto-techno of old. In this case, the bootlegger (read: remixer) is simply putting a techno/dancefloor face on the new track. This doesn't mean it's any good tho! (BTW - How are things Sean? Interested in coming back to IC sometime? Where's that new album?!?)
ASKEW> The remixer has ties to many artists in Germany and New York, and furthermore, it is my understanding that the boot is in a *small* run by people respectful of artists' rights. There will be one source worldwide to find this particular record. This is not another Sony/UR situation. Although I do not know the remixer personally, I am familiar with his work. And since I haven't heard the remix yet I can't vouch for it being any good. We'll see in a couple of weeks when it come back from the plant. SYNTAX> Speaking of Sony/UR/Jaguar, please write to Syntax Distribution and encourage them to remove "Type - Jaguar" from their stock. I speak for (at least!) a few listmembers who were disappointed to see Syntax first send out a long mail detailing the copyright situation, only to find the Sony record in question added to their stock list 3 weeks later!! Surprisingly, Watts has not picked the cover up - in fact they are distributing Rolondo's Jaguar this week. Cheers to that, at least.
