the rise and fall of the microsound dynasty

[Frans De Waard <frans@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes, both are very nice, from what I heard. But we at Staalplaat 
(note the correct spelling, I wonder how much we don't get, because 
spell our name wrong) didn't release anything by them. Our allied 
label, Mixer, did a 3" CD by Goodiepal, which I highly recommend 
(even when it's on the fringe of sold out). Certainly a (and not 
'the') future direction of 'microsound', me thinks.
