Hello all.
I know it's been a terribly long time since any of you have heard
from me --- until now not a lot has gone on with Dagmar but as Phil
Zampino posted a few months ago, the ART BEARS BOX SET is now
available and it's simply amazing. The remastering job ReR did with
the three original albums is stunning, and the remixes are equally
sublime. Trust me -- it's worth buying the box if even just for the
exclusive CD -- containing an essential version of FREEDOM plundered
by John Oswald and a few live cuts that sound better than ANY bootleg
that has been circulated. You can order it from ReR (which now has a
US site, www.rerusa.com ) or through the usual channels. There was a
subscription edition that was available until 12/31/03. Those of us
lucky enough to get it know that we got a mini 3"cd replica of the
Coda To Man and Boy 7" and a booklet containing among other things a
reflection by Etienne Conod and a reprint of the original score of
First Things First (along with additional photos including one pretty
cool one of Dagmar :D) One complaint I have: no essay or comment
from the lady herself?!?! What gives?! However --- all of you know
how essential these albums are and the remixes and added bonuses are
worth buying the stuff all over again. It's a steal, really.
I also recently acquired the Goebbels/Harth LP "Zeit Weirdnapp"...I
have not received it in the mail yet...but of course I am excited
about it :D
HOPEFULLY sometime within the next few months I will be redesigning
the site with new scans of everything (including the subscription
material with the boxset)...if i don't someone hit me in the head and
remind me
take care all
