just checking. i assume by now you've all heard the sad news. (if not, check the loopz.co.uk news section.) unfortunate for sure, but it's not often you see musicians with enough integrity to know when it's time to hang it up. in any case, i'm sure we haven't heard the last from the brothers hartnoll. so, as for that blue album... i'm listening to some alleged promo mp3s right now. i really like what i'm hearing so far - classic orbitalesque melodic layered synths, pounding beats, and general awesomeness. nothing like going out on a high note. :) now, let's see if this email actually makes it to someone, or just gets lost in the void... -ben aka nub _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
