Below is the Avant label's proposed releases for 1992/1993. The
three NEW COMPOSERS SERIES" titles should be released around
November. Unfortunately Harmonia Mundi U.K. have no further
details on the other titles however they will release them in the 
U.K. as soon as they're available in Japan. The information appears 
as received; I cannot be held responsible for their melodramatic turn 
of phrase!
