Sun Electric, a not unfamiliar name in the Electronica / Ambient world, were signed to ZTT in the mid 90s. Red Summer was out on promo but never commercially released. Another sad ZTT story...
Ah, yes, I seem to recall seeing the artwork for this at some point, and also remember the "Koskiwicz Mix" by the Orb turning up in Ian Peel's ZTT radio session.

Anyone got a copy for sale...? If you're at all curious about what Tom & Max are up to these days, they had the inagural release on LX Paterson's BadOrb records as SE Berlin, which included the outstanding track "Shuttle." I think "Shuttle" has since turned up on some compilation and is well worth seeking out. You can hear a lo-fi streaming version of "Shuttle" by going to badorb.com and flipping the little "now playing" audio dealy in the lower-right corner to "bob1a." They also contributed by far the best of five or six remixes of Electric Chairs' "Barbie Girl" on a later BadOrb single (also as SE Berlin). You can hear it on badorb.com as "bob6d." Great stuff. JG

It turns up on eBay from time to time. It's more than just 'the rhythm track' from the song that ends up in Almond's "Jacky"! I think instrumental versions (if they existed) of "Jacky" and the 4 Minute Coup Mix of "Red Summer" would be nearly indistinguishable if it weren't for some string pads, a bit of piano and an ambient outro that are only in the SE+Inga version. Speaking of SE, Designers Republic is selling Present posters (finally) at http://www.thepeoplesbureau.com/ - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | personal: http://hyperreal.org/~mike/
