Apparently it will not be issued so I've been given permission to post it on my myspace page. Out of all the mixes I've done, this is by far the most time consuming so far. I really don't plan on spending 100+ hours on a mix again unless it's one of my own. http://www.myspace.com/elektrolad If you like it prehaps you can bother the good people at Mute records for a proper release. info@mute.co.uk Thanks for your support, elektrolad Official web site http://elektrolad.com ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V11 #167 ********************************
