Isn't it? Well, it seems there's a lot of stuff in the works. I just think it's a little odd we're halfway through the year and aside from pricey box sets, we've only been treated to a split 12" and a cassette. (the cassette was rather good mind you) ANYBODY HAVE ANY GOSSIP? I'm still eager to hear part 3 of merzcow... Kamadhenu is still a real favourite of mine I am aware there should be at least a couple of CDs, a couple of 12"s, a 7" and some collaborative stuff heading our way in the not so dim and distant future

I know its been really quiet but its basically me trying to give up ground for people to post their own ideas but i dont see it happening, not yet at least.
well im usually the one who is constantly harrasing labels to give up some nugget of information and as far as i know here is what i have: 1- The CD on Old Europa Cafe has been put in the freezer for the time being. They gave me no reason behind it but its all we have. You can check their site and mentions of the upcoming album are no longer there.
2- Uzu Me Ku has been delayed because of printing errors on Samboy Get Help source of production. They mailed me to tell you that it was pushed to mid June and yesterday i mailed them to ask the status and they had to push once again to early July. I hope they can fix all soon since they have already sold a third of all copies as far as i know, and that was a long time ago. I assume they have continued to sell more copies in the meantime and i guess they are already halfway through with all copies, but thats just me speculating.
3- Partikel III is still comming out and this year. Cold Spring told me that they are working on artwork and all that stuff but the material was already recorded and mastered.
4- The last Merzcow album should be released on summer if it gets released at all this year. Ive mailed Hypnagogia several times now regarding the other Merzcow albums when they were about to be released and what they said about the last album is that all depends on funds if its gonna be released in the summer. I guess we as a comunity can do something about it but we would have to talk more in depth and soon (Summer is comming!)
5- remember "Flax", that idea that morphed into "Dead Zone", well it will stay as an idea for the forseable future. As far as i understood of what they mailed me back, the theme of Flax exists but a release is not.
Ive used the MerzbowNews several times to ask Blossoming Noise whats up with the MicroKosmos series but ive yet to hear any reply from them. Its been almost 3 years now since the first volume and i would love to see the next one released arroud the same date. It would be kind of awesome if that series took a hell of a lot of time in between. I guess a volume every 3 years would be awesome and we could maybe hear Merzbow's sound change over the years.
