Dear EM Fans,

I've been quiet with the newsletter, but things have been busy in the
background.

~~~ Ricochet Gathering Yellowstone 2007 (Released 2/11/08)

As of today, 2/23/08, all open orders for the Ricochet Gathering Yellowstone
2007 Demo have been shipped.
I am now shipping these sets to the musicians and fans that attended the
Gathering. If you would like a numbered copy of this historic set (limited
to 77 numbered sets), the price is $45 plus shipping. Anyone placing an
order in February, will still receive the 5th bonus promo disc from
Yellowstone.

~~~ Fanger & Kersten "Elektrik Massage" - New Ricochet Dream release
scheduled for March 2008

This release has 2 tracks from Berlin and 2 tracks from Bad Sulza. The
sounds are classic Berlin EM and Ashra like.
I will annouce the exact release date once known. 1000 copies in a digipak
on Ricochet Dream RD031.

~~~ Ricochet Gathering Rubycon 2006 4 CDr Demo - New Ricochet Dream release

~~~ Brendan Pollard/Rogue Element

I have just received a few copies of each release by Rogue Element and
Brendan Pollard.
I have the last copies of Premonition (it's basically out of print), so grab
your copies now of classic Berlin EM.
Please follow the link to the SHOP from the homepage www.ricochetdream.com
to order the CDs.

Note on Premonition: I lent the original TD mellotron frames (from my
collection) to Rogue Element for their production.
These are the original TD tapes from 1975.

~~~ Technical Stuff (Difficulties)

I have been hampered by a dying PC workstation that I've tried to keep on
life support these last few weeks (months even). This has caused me great
difficulty in responding in a timely matter to your requests. I will
complete my email backlog tonight and make a full disk backup and rebuild my
workstation on Sunday. So I will be off line for the next 2-3 days. So
please be patient with any email requests.
