I picked up a couple of records yesterday and thought I could share them with 
the rest of you (no, you silly I won't send you my 12"s!):

Funky Green Dogs from Outer Space:
	Reach For Me
Liberty City
	Some Lovin'
Interceptor:
	Together

A 12" EP from Network containing artist originally on Murk Records (a US 
label?) They're kind dub house / deep house / disco stuff so one might not 
find them instantly usable in raves or techno clubs. The track by Interceptor
is really haunting and passes as a perfect trance track, so I really must 
recommend this 12" on the strength of that one track alone. The catalogue 
number is NWKT 57.

Funky Green Dogs from Outer Space:
	Reach For Me (dub)
	Reach For Me (7")
Interceptor:
	Inside (dub)
Liberty City
	Some Lovin'

This is another 12" EP of recent(?) releases Murk Records - again released by 
Network. It's entitled Miami dub remixes and has substantially different 
versions to the original EP. Oddly enough the best track here is the remix 
of Liberty City's "Some Lovin'", which is very deep dub stuff. Great. 
Catalogue  number is NWKT 57R.

	Indo Tribe: Shrink
	Mental Cube: So This is Love
	Mental Cube: Chile of The Bass Generation

This 16 track CD is a compilation of works by Brian Dougans & Garry Cobain aka 
The Future Sound of London aka Humanoid aka... The stuff here is copyrighted 
between '90-'92, although some of the stuff dates back to '88 ("Stakker 
Humanoid"). Some of the songs were also released on Pulse EPs vol. 1-3 and as
separate 12"s. Still, I think the stuff here is partly previously unreleased 
and well worth getting. Even though the sounds are a bit outdated here and
there, there's still enough good hooks and nice blurps and bleeps to go 
around. 
Not for the faint of heart though as this may require some growing into. 
Grab it.
Catalogue number: CD Tot 7.

On the subject of FSOL, can somebody list the other projects and releases
by this group. I know they have at least one other pseudonym called Metropolis
and they recently released a 12" (or two?). Can anybody comment on that?

Last but not least I have to urge people to check out the new Reese Project 
single "I Believe". I don't mind about the disco / garage / dub versions, 
but the (now hear this!) "Laurent Garnier's Frenchman In Stoke-on-Trent 
Ambient Chill Thrill Baseroom Mix" is a must. Very trancy with mellow acid 
sounds building up the tension to the last minute. 


Chill at will,
