Actually, Kirk DeGiorgio has been releasing on Regal / New Religion for
quite a while, as one of the early Regal releases was Family Values'
"Diff'rent Sound" single, written / produced by Kirk.
Plus, Kirk produced the 3 EPs / album by Brothers In Sound (an excellent
semi-electronic semi-rock brit-pop act) on Regal.
Also, Regal had a few other electronic releases, like the Sunnyview EP,
which has *great* remixes of early electro tracks.
Perhaps the person responsible for signing electronic artists to Regal
decided to spin-off a new sub-label dedicated to the electronic market,
thus making it easier to market and promote as such.

Hi Matt,
The cat numbers are definately Reg XXX which looks
more like Regal - perhaps New Religion was a name
thought up when an existing label went for a relaunch
or a change of direction? Perhaps when they started
releasing Critical Phase and Kirk Degeorgio stuff?
Best bet is probobly to email Alex and ask him
Cheers

Hi list - got a quick query that's been bugging me
for a while - why is
there no entry for New Religion on discogs, and why
are all their records
listed as Regal records? Is that a parent label, or
are the New Religion
records licensed from them? I've never noticed the
name Regal on any of my
NR cuts, though I could just be being blind...
Any ideas?
Cheers!
