work in progress... The Crack In The Cosmic Egg 12
years in the making! A completely revised "The Crack In The Cosmic
Egg" DVD-Rom is near completion, and will be out sometime soon. Currently
Steve has almost finished doing his final error and formatting checks, and
then I (Alan) will have to do link checks and headers pass, just to check no
bugs remain! For more info and updates look here. |

work in progress... A Fistful Of Spaghetti We
wanted to publish this book 20 years ago, but we were far from having all the
info we need to do a proper job. Now, having heard everything of repute from
this wonderful scene, we managed to get it all together and organise it into
a book format. There's
still a bit of work to be done, but it should be out later this year. We also
need votes from friends and fans for their favourite 20 Italian albums of the
60s/70s scene. To vote, email utle2uk@btconnect.com or post on the relevant
Facebook thread. For more info and updates look here. |

magazine... new
Auricle... out 1st of March recent... Endgame - LIQUID TIME (AMCDR
302) CDR - brand new 20th anniversary 2019 session!
After a hiatus of several years, except for the occasional Quadelectronic
performance, this 20th anniversary session from Endgame just goes to show
that the daring spirit of Endgame has not at all died out. Fresh and vital,
this mixes some well-worn ideas with lots of new ones, and obviously some
ideas leeching through form parallel projects Triax and Approaching Infinity.
So, expect both the familiar Endgame style (if there is such a thing)
embellished by a lot that is different. Rancid Poultry - ARCHIVES
(Auricle, various catalogue numbers) download sampler and series of 6 discs all containing previously unreleased
recordings from the 1990s, all culled from the best of jam sessions, live
tapes and rehearsals, plus a download sampler containing one track from each future
