Maybe old news for some u...i found this on the web... If you are trained as an architect, and grow out to become one of the world's most prolific techno artists, why not start your own fashion store? The latter seems to be the case for Jeff Mills, who is starting out his own fashion store in downtown Chicago with his long time partner and Axis record head Yoko Uozumi. They recently started a project they call the Gamma Player Shop, as an expansion of what creative abilities they have and inspired by, or simply because Jeff doesn't want to be touring the globe at an older age, offering a selection of special international fashion brands, with an emphasis on Europe and Japan. Of course, music is not left out of the equation, as Mr. Mills has compiled a CD for the special opening of the store, labeled The Universe By Night, offering a host of special edits and previously unreleased tracks. Although we debate whether techno is so suitable for an up market, 'haute couture' fashion store, Mills is by no means the only techno icon to delve into fashion. What to think of Ellen Allien, who recently announced her own clothing line? The Gamma Player shop will open March 15. The track listing to its opening soundtrack is included below. Track Listing: 1. 14 Dreams 2. Gamma Player 3. The March 4. The Art of Barrier Breaking 5. Now Is The Time 6. The Nomads of Niger 7. Time Machine 3 8. Place De La Bastille 9. Gata 10. Moody 11. Dr. Ice 12. Man From Tomorrow 13. Micro Terra 14. Healing Channel 15 Time Machine 7 16. Sleeping Giant
