Kwinkunx news follows. First off, anyone who isn't satisfied with just the preliminary mixes can get themselves over to www.mp3.com.au/kwook/ and listen to five complete tracks off the album (including the two most directly inspired by the Orb, "Space Turtle" and "Pink Fish") in MP3 format. Goes without saying that the versions on the CD don't have the compression bubbles of the MP3 version. :) As i'm writing this a few of the tracks haven't cleared yet, but the people over at mp3.com.au are usually very good about clearing submissions quickly. They should all be ready to listen to and download by Wednesday. Speaking of the CD itself, anyone with a credit card can now grab Kwinkunx online at chaosmusic.com -- the direct link to purchase is http://www.chaosmusic.com/shop/product.asp?productID=838911 - if you want to hear the tracks ahead of time, you can check out the mp3.com.au site given above or http://www.kwookyworld.com/kw.php?node=4 for the five minute mix previews. The CD launch on 22 October was a superb cock-up promotionally with no CDs at all selling, but our set was pretty damn good. Sadly, this didn't make much difference because nearly everyone had left by the time we got to go on for half an hour before closing, much of the time beforehand being taken up by the usual uninteresting house music with the odd live performance. Our lateness going on stage was due to the band playing before us being more partial to getting smashed on free piss than actually playing anything. (And when they did play it was boring sub-GYBE dross. 'Lake Disappointment' is an apt name for that particular band, really.) We got a nice round of applause at the end of the set, but i really rather would have sold some CDs. And now, back to your regular Orb bit. At 07:57 PM 10/27/02 -0800, you wrote:
Kyle Zeto's mom threatened legal action for his song being on their release. Apparently she thinks he's entitled to some of the profit from the sales.
