Haye!
*** I have some info at the Counterforce site and an article by me on the Sony/BMG case. You can check it out at http://barkingcat.org/counterforce. The article speaks exactly in the way that a precedent that is being open by this case can affect the independent record industry. We're working on that English version of the site that is still outdated, please be patient with us :-) I'd appreciate any info on the UR case with Sony/BMG, like interviews, opinions, points of view, sites, information centers, etc. *** On that other note, when and where is Cisco living in Portugal? Didn't he said why or what he plans to do now? There's also an interview with the Advent guys at the Counterforce site, address above. Cisco and Colin gave me the best live show I have ever seen in my life on electronic music. Now *that* was a workout :-) Lay "Um Império Tecnológico consolidado pela Necessidade" http://barkingcat.org/counterforce ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Shepherd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 12:32 AM Subject: [313] The Advent > Was speaking to Cisco/The Advent a few days ago and he seems to be majorly > hyped about his future work.
