Hi Jurren, I talked to Alan a couple of days ago in Berlin and he still has some work to do on the comic. It should be for the end of this year or the beginning of next year. The release of the comic is the start of a subdivision of Pure Sonik which will be called Pure Comics. Alan is also thinking about releasing the comic together with an album by respected techno artists. Some of them have already said 'yes' although there is nothing on paper yet. It should be very interesting though and something worth looking forward to.
Good move to order the Kraftwerk book. Also check The Rough Guide To Techno by Tim Barr!!!! Hope this helps, John out Ik weet echter niet waar je strips van Alan kan vinden. Ben je op de hoogte van het Break All Barriers-project? Ik ga daar aan meewerken. http://www.breakallbarriers.com Hmm, merk net dat ik nog niet bij de medewerkers sta, zal aan Frank zijn oren moeten trekken ;-) -----Original Message----- From: jurren baars [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 2:35 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: [313] Alan Oldham comics On the the Progress Cd by T-1000 it says that a new Alan Oldham book is going to be released this year. Is it out allready, and where can i get any of his comic-books? I really like the drawings he does for Djax, and the other stuf I've seen from him so far. I have a hard time finding any good comics (like Rick Griffin and others), all they seem to sell here in Holland seems to be "Suske en Wiske" and old "Spiderman" issues. I know it's slightly off topic, but I thought I just give it a try. Second: does anyone know of any good books about techno in particular, or electronic music in general? I've read "Techno Rebels" by Dan Sicko, "More brilliant than the Sun" by Kodwo Eshun and "Space is the place" by Szwed (about Sun Ra), and I just ordered "Kraftwerk: From Dusseldorf to the Future" by Tim Barr, but I was hoping to find more. Any books on Herbie Hancock or Miles Davis about the "Bitches Brew" period?
