yes...it was supposed to have been sent out by today, but today's a sunday anyways...(though this does ignore the word "by"...) but it'll be mailed out tomorrow...and it's supposed to be a 90 min tape, but i don't care...it's too much trouble for me NOT to do a 120 min tape anyways...i had also tried to squeeze an Electric Eels song in towards the end, before the Crass, but the Sentridoh->Zorn plan wasn't working out so i hadta cut it, unfortunately...oh well...it's quite a good bit of rock...and i think i did pretty well in not using the same old standards i tend to use...there are still a few, of course, but it's far less heavy...some songs by bands i don't normally put on tapes...but it's rökken that way, or something...

Disco Inferno

brittish band that broke up a few years ago, unfortunately...their early stuff (as seen on In Debt, a comp of one single, one ep, and one album) is along the lines of Joy Division/early Cure/U2 w/ heavy use of the delay pedal...then they got samplers and hooked 'em up to their instruments (guitar, drums, bass...though i don't *think* the bassist had a sampler hooked-up...mostly just on the guitar and drums...) w/ this they released their amazing second album D. I. Go Pop...i think it's easily their best...and Technicolour was their last album...though they had several eps...Technicolour is good, but a lot poppier and less chaotic than D. I. Go Pop...its use of sampling is really innovative...their stuff can be a little hard to find, w/ their not being as recognized as they should be...but i highly recommend it...especially D. I. Go Pop...
