Greetings Fans,

~~~ ASHRA ~~~

Tomorrow I will be on the phone with Manuel Gottsching finalizing a release
on the Ricochet Dream label.
This will be a Ash Ra Tempel 1973 concert Live in Insbruck Austria. The
line-up is Manuel, Peter Handke & Gene Gross.

This release will be a compliment to the other release already out on
Ricochet Dream which features Steve Schroyder (from Tangerine Dream) and
Gene Gross titled "Scarecrew - Magical Mind" from 1975. So here are a couple
old Krautrock releases that will also bear the "Imperial Teutonic" logo,
which is associated with releases that may not be studio quality, but merit
release anyway.

Details and release date is TBD, but it looks like it will be only limited
to 1000 copies. This music has never been released before.

~~~ PAUL NAGLE ~~~

I have a limited stock of the new Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) release
which features Paul Nagle and Phil Smillie.
This is great new electronics. Price is only $17 and I'm sure I'm going to
sell out and I'll have to get more from Paul :)

~~~ TANGERINE DREAM ~~~

Even though the website is not always up-to-date, you can be sure that I
always will stock any releases from Tangerine Dream that are directly from
them, such as the Eastgate and TDI label. I place an order with them every 2
weeks, so if you need something from TD, let me know. I have a few Metaphor
CD singles left in stock at $15 and limit is only one per customer. It is
already out of print.

~~~ NEWS ~~~

-- A Ricochet Gathering track from Italy 2006 "Tuscan Sunset" will be the
closing track on the LAST E-Dition release CD #16.
Hopefully you have a subscription to this nice EM magazine that
unfortunately is closing shop after this release (you can order this at
Groove.nl).

-- Ricochet Gathering 2007 in Yellowstone - we have plenty of fans and
musicians already interested, so there is no need to advertise.
Fanger & Schonwalder will join us along with many past RG musicians. From
USA we will have Robert Carty join us for the first time. I also have offers
out to Robert Rich, Thom Brennan & Steve Roach, but they are not high
probabilty at this time, but the situation can change.

-- Also, John Sherwood will be releasing some RG 2006 Italy tracks on his
upcoming "Awakenings" series releases. The tracks featured are "Gaiole Pt. 1
& 2" which are great tracks in my humble opinion :-)

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, then stay warm!
